Where can I get this front grill from?

As above trying to source the same grill as in the pic, i've found one with the chrome fins but ideally would like black ones!



Any ideas?

Thanks

A few months ago I did research on this myself.
I don't remember seeing the black item you are looking for.
Finally went for chromed version.

Same here.

I got my one slat grill off of Ebay and used carbon fiber tape on the black part.

Buy the 1 slat grill off of ebay and use carbon fiber tape or paint to turn the chrome part black.

Some 1 slat grills come with "mesh" behind the 3 pointed star. Some 1 slat grills come with the 3 pointed star backed by a shiny black background (similar to cars that have distronic).

Rick's grill has the shiny black background.

My grill has the mesh.

See my sig to compare the two cars.

Nevermind, you can't really see the grill in my sig pic.

But, member jobe posted his above and he has the mesh backing.

The picture you posted of Rick SL55's car has the shiny black back.
