Black Front Grill

I've looked everywhere... does anyone know where I can find a OEM quality painted black grill? The paint shop to which I took my grill to be painted black didn't sand the chrome and just painted it. It is chipping like all hell and I would like to just buy a replacement. Thanks guys.

Looks like everyone is having issues sourcing. i wish on eof the CF guys on here would make a brabus style one for us.

I have painted mine before as well. what works is to use a mouse sander to scuff up the chrome look and then it does not chip as easily.

Not shoving it in your face, just helping out. I used to just spray my outer cover once every few months, but it got old.

I'd pay $500 if the quality was tight.

I was thinking about it... because there are a couple investment opportunities that have presented themselves.... but, I don't think I can part with her... I'm actually going to be removing that from my signature today.

Glad to hear that. I would hate to see you give up that monster as well. I'm saving up money for a 1000+hp demon. I will keep the 211 as a daily driver. My kids that I don't have yet can save for my retirement. LOL j/k
