Where can I get a black grill?
I have seen a few cars with black grills like the pic below. Can you buy them already blacked out or do you need to paint them? If you need to paint them do you do it yourself or pay to have it done?
Also, anyone have the Brabus springs and shocks? What do you think of them? I can't find them on the Brabus site... how much are they?
BTW... Hey ATL peeps, we still gonna have a meet?
Thanx in advance!

that car you see if my friend Will's car. He doesn't post often, so i'll just answer it for him.
He had the grille painted w/ body color when the bodyshop painted his Brabus bumper. Forgot if he said he got it done for free or else.
i think pretty much all bodyshop that does paint can do it, but depends on the quality work of the paint shop you might have more chip than another. chip on the painted chrome grille is inevitable tho.
btw, Doug, any idea how much is a new grille?

i had my 2003 grill painted to match the color of my car. it was a coupe grill but the same concept. it was done at a body shop. the prep work and painting of the grill cost me $100. most body shops probably will be willing to do thjat type of work.
