Front Lower Valance Grill

Does anyone know if an overlay/replacement is made for the lower front valance grill (the black honey-comb piece)? I think a silver/brushed aluminum piece instead of the stock black would look killer....

Havent seen one yet but I think you can just sandblast the current grills and have a body shop paint it with the color you want.
Havent seen anyone here with a lower mesh grill mod so yo can probably be the first and post pics.
If you want, you can buy my lower mesh grills so you'll have extra in case you're not satisfied with how it turned out.

I used the mesh typically used on imports or other cars with body kits. Its similar to the AMG mesh, but there's is a lot thicker. A little secret, its the same mesh from Lowes or Home Depot used for the rain gutter as guards. So you can go there or order online and pay more
