    Painted Grills

    I've been looking for lately, for a grill that is paintable. Every grill i've seen so far comes with the side U part that is paintable, but not the center piece, all i can find are the ones that are chrome. I was looking at getting the SS front grill, from a dealership, but their like 600+ bucks, and i didn't really want to spend that much. Does anybody know of any grills that are quality, that look like the SS front grills? Thanks For your help.

    yeah its not an actual chrome... its probably some kind of plastic that looks that way

    so chances are you will be able to sand/scuff the chrome part and be able to paint it along with the rest of the piece
