ive seen a few on l-tuned parts. but they r all $$$$. it sounds cheesy but go get a chrome spray paint and paint it or gold. someone on here dunno who but he did the gold and that was nice. ive got chrome i will post some pics for you to c if you want. but i would say paint your grille unless you wanna dish out some money

Duplicolor makes some metalcast chrome paint that I heard was good. I was going to buy a spare grill and try it when i have time.

Heres an aftermarket one : http://shop.edoperformance.com/abflu...147-p-136.html

Yeah its possible to paint them, I also heard Duplicolor would be the best for the Job. I just had my auto body man paint mine the same color as my car.

hey guys jsut an idea but why dont you just get the stainless steel insert made to fit inside a stock chrome surround? i have pics of two different type of grilles that i will post up (inside and out) that give you two different ways of doing it (one is bolt on, the other is welded)

This si the weld in type that i bought for my car for $120 australian from japan (www.importmonster.com.au is one way of getting them from yahoo japan auctions, you just have to keep an eye out)

no sorry im overseas with work for another 3 or so months so unfortunatly its sitting in my study/converted to aristo spare parts room for when i return home. however here are some aristo pics i have saved in the past with different styles of billet grilles to give you an idea of whats available (ivve been searching for over a year for one that wasnt bull**** expensive)

this is the weld in type i bought (sorry the picture is a bit dodgy, its scanned from VIP CAR magazin, and i cant read much japanese so i dont know the brand)
