Midnight grill VS Painting grill

I can't see anyone selling the grilles for more than what the dealer would charge...so that's your baseline. Anything other than the dealership would be considered alternative supply chain. So once we're in this area, prices follow supply/demand models more closely.
If you consistently sold the coupe grille for $300, but had trouble selling the sedan one for $300, you would start lowering the price of the sedan one until it sold. Infiniti may even have adopted this approach. Again, this is why I asked if it's priced this way from the factory, or if that's just what the alternative vendors are selling them for.

I'm having mine painted to mimic the midnight grill. Gloss black the color you guys think I should go with? Don't worry my paint guy uses top quality clear coat and I had him add in a few extra coats of clear into the estimate. $80 btw to take it out, sand, paint, clear, n install

Only $80, and you're not even removing the grille yourself? That's much more than fair.

I think that would be fine. A detail that's personal, and something you would appreciate. Almost like applying Night Shade on the existing chrome... which is something you could very, very easily try yourself.

I appreciate the credit, but it's not mine to take. Got the idea two years ago from another member here on the forum. The only thing I did different was keep the Fuji face chrome. Here's the thread:

The OP started it as a build thread, and I shamelessly whored the conversation into the grille .

Omg he's modest too lol. John have you heard the sound bite video I posted up today yet? I think you'll enjoy it. Check my build thread or the long time coming thread.
