Yay my new black chrome grille arrived :)

Unhappy with the chipped faded and cheap looking gray plastic grille, i found a seller on ebay selling black chrome ones for $56 so i figure eh, why not. Worst case im out $50, surprisingly the quality is actually quite good and plastic feels rigid and made of good quality.

Before and after...

I bought the same one on fleabay as well because mine was chipped. The install was very easy and fitment was great. It looks 100% better!! Can't beat the price either. Installed on my 03 UL.

Better angles, the black chrome is hard to photograph accurately.

Looks good guys! Will the OEM black pearl emblem match the grill? Here's a sample on fleabay:

I've seen the black pearl emblems and they appear darker then the grille. Not a exact match but somewhat close. I like that contrasted look chrome over black chrome though.
