Black grille
I've seen black grilles on the new GS and was wondering where they got them from. Are they custom or purchased?
Same with the black emblems.

black emblems you can paint yourself.
the oem black pearl emblems are kind of pricey.

I actually don't recall any particular member with black grill.
Are those stock grills or aftermarket?
I'm sure if it's just stock then you can paint them as well when you do the emblems. If you like the aftermarket styles better, get it and if it doesn't come in black, paint them while you do the emblems as well.
However, black emblem on a black grill probably doesn't stand out as much eh?
If you can find a picture of the grill you like and post it, we can probably tell you what company produces them.

Seems the 3GS grill piece is chrome, so you have to have it painted black. Its part of the bumper I believe, you can't just take it out.

I'm not sure about that since there are a few aftermarket standalone grills for sale.
i.e. Carson tuned, Artisan, etc.
