Default Black Mesh Grill

I am very interested in getting the black mesh grill because i feel it will make my car look very aggressive. If i am getting the new black mesh grill i would also want to black out the chrome surrounding the grill. Do you guys have any links or places to buy the black mesh grills. any ideas on costs for the grill and/or blacking out the chrome. I want it to look like this..

p.s. Johung if you have a problem with me using your pic PM me.

Ebay has some of those mesh grills. I believe L-Tunedparts.com has some too. As for taking the chrome bezel out, just remove it and get it painted or paint it yourself.

l-tunedparts.com has one, its by Carson Toyota and is very sexy, i got it on mine (grill black, i have blue onyx pearl) without the emblem and it looks very agressive, type in the promo code CLISGRILLE and the price i believe goes to... 260$?

i dont know how to make the chrome part black though, may have to get that painted separately

The Carson Grille is very good quality. Fitment is excellent. And you can change the look with or w/o emblem, putting it on or off in 1 minute. I am very pleased with it. I got it painted in SGM now, but have the CF on order.

It depends how much money you want to spend, you can also find the mesh grill on eBay.

Hehe, it's carbon fiber 1 piece. They shut down the update thread so I never updated anymore. Well anyways, he's not selling them anymore because of the poor fitment. Only mine had the perfect fitment.
I dont know where I put my grille only pictures but you can see it from these pictures...
