Black Grille For C63. Please Help!!!!!!

Does anyone out there produce a black grille that fits the C63? I don't know how I feel about painting or wrapping my OEM grille.

Any and all feedback would be appreciated!

I like your car's color. What did you do to the wheels?

Is that permanent?

p.s. looks like you're running some thick and juicy tires

Carbon fiber yes, black no. You are probably better off wrapping in vinyl.

A respectable shop can paint it well. A chrome primer need to be applied to etch into the chrome to rough it up, then the paint is applied a day or two later.

I bought mine used with the black grill but had to replace it after a fender bender. The shop did an incredible job.

Paint is not bullet proof however. A little rock may chip it. Be sure to get the touch up paint in a small container from the shop who does it.

Plastidip may be your best solution for the chrome surrounds. I may try that because they get more debris chips. I think plastidip is good for small areas (like badges), but it looks cheaper and varies in color too much for the grill, IMO.

Your colors need a black grill.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Sounds like the decision now is either to wrap or paint?

The center star is painted and the rest of the hood is hand laid with carbon fiber

Trent D I use a shop in Carrollton that can paint it for you, Excellent workmanship people you can trust. I have personally used them several times. http://www.nccautobody.com/ Greg is owner. I am taking my car back there next week to get vinyl removed from door chrome trim and having it painted correctly.

Plastidip. You can always peel it off later.
