recommendations for black front grill with star?

I am sure this has been asked a billion times but yet my search turned up alot but nothing that anyone recommends as far as fitment and what not.

I am looking for a black front grill with the big STAR on it. And no, I dont want to Plasti dip.

I happen to have one. I dont care for the black front grill so as soon as I got my car I removed it for a chrome one. Not sure if it is aftermarket or not. I do know its a lot higher quality than the one I got to replace it. Lot heavier and the star is held in place much much better. Hell if you had a stock one with the star in it I'd swap you since my chrome one is so cheap. $100 grills like mine are not very good quality to say the least.

Got any pictures? Any rock chips or anything?

I cant see any chips at all. Looks like a factory finish to me. It weighs about 2X what my $100 grill I bought to replce it weighs. Also has the floating emblem / star which is like factory. Got a wierd angle on the pic but it looks very good.
