9/10. Very good product considering the price and quality.
Packaging was 10/10. Came in a box, each grille and eyelid was wrapped individually. The grilles were wrapped in foam for protection. Looks pretty good. No immediately noticeable blemishes on my order. Although it doesn't feel as rigid as the OEM one (of course) One thing I noticed tho was there is a crack/break in one of the grilles but it's not noticeable when the hood is shut. Not sure how that will affect how long it will last but it still looks good. Overall a 9/10 just cause of that crack.

Great profuct. Exact fit. Comes with instructions. Took me about 6 minutes to take off the old ones and put the new ones in. Gave my 335i an aggressive look. Will definitely be buying more from this seller!
