I could not find the black grill so decided to get it painted. Should get the car back by Wednesday and will post some pics. This may help you decide if you like it or not. I have a silver car with the black roof so we decided to paint the grill black to match the roof. Should look pretty good.

i saw one that was painted on someones car and it was all bubbly and lumpy and it didn't look like the paint wanted to stick for too long. if you paint yours, it may be a good idea to have it professionally done so it looks good. the shoddy one looked good at a distance, but it looked like trouble up close
