That looks great. I'm thinking of getting one too. Where did you buy it?

I've seen one on ebay for $32.

Oops. Never mind. The $32 is for a chrome grill TRIM, not grill.

I was thinking of getting the one without the emblem spot for my black car. It looks nice on yours, but I must admit that I thought it would look darker. Not so sure on my black car anymore...

To me it isn't much of a change from the stock grill , Sounds like you may want something darker.

So here is the black chrome grill on my black onyx LS. My OEM grill had seen it's better days with rock chips and road debris after 10 years. This is the same as the OPs and it looks great. Install was about 30 minutes because I took the time to clean and wax the area once I removed the grille. Fitment was spot on. Very good quality and much cheaper than OEM. [IMG][/IMG]
