ABOUT THE ITEM
Conch pearls are amongst the rarest gems in the world.
A conch is a medium to large-sized marine gastropod from the Strombidae family, known as the Lobatus Gigas (formerly known as Strombus Gigas), or Queen Conch. Queen Conchs are found off the coast of the Bahamas, Florida Keys, Caribbean Islands and Bermuda where they're harvested for their delicious meat. Popular conch dishes include conch fritters, conch salad and conch chowder. Very rarely, a natural pearl will be found inside a conch shell. These natural conch pearls are produced when an irritant, such as a parasite, enters the mollusk. As a defense mechanism, the conch will coat the irritant with a calcium carbonate, over time producing a porcelain-like pearl. Approximately 1 out of every 10,000 to 15,000 conchs will produce a pearl. Only 1 out of every 100,000 to 150,000 conchs will produce a gem quality conch pearl! Conch pearls can range in color from pink to red, orange, brown and white, sometimes displaying a characteristic known as flame structure that appears as a fire burning on the pearl's surface. This flame-like or silk-like appearance is due to a phenomena known as chatoyancy. It's unusual for a conch pearl to exceed 3mm in diameter. Conch pearls over 10mm are considered exceptionally rare, especially in pink to red hues with visible flame.
This extremely rare natural conch pearl weighs 1.25 carats and measures approximately 7.90 x 5.30 x 4.00mm. It is a gorgeous pink color with small white blemishes at the tips. The pearl has eye-visible gem flame patterning.

Fits nicely and matte looks much better than gloss IMO
I previously purchased a gloss kit that had a very poor fit so I had to return it. I got this which has an excellent fit and I actually like the matte finish much better (everything else which is black on the car is also matte: weather seals, door frame etc)

Great inexpensive mod
Very easy to install, the old grill was a little difficult getting out but the new grill fit perfect and easy to install on my son's 2008 E90/328i. Looks great, best $'s for the most bang we've spent so far...

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.

Cool and inexpensive.
The original chrome grill bits broke off my 2006 BMW 323i, So I replaced them with these cool matt black ones.
