IMO just take 2 hours and $20 to DIY. That's what I did and I can't tell mine from a purchased one.

I just put the Midnight grill on today. Having seen some painted ones and knowing what my painting skills are, I opted for the OEM one. Nicely finished and the black has a metallic spec look to it.

^^^ Hey Hamster, can you post a few pics? I'd like to see better quality pics than what I've been able to find thus far.

If you dont want to paint it yourself, you can bring your grill to a local body shop and pay ~$100 to have it painted black. Why pay 300?

If you want to be able to return to stock and/or don't have the time to find a good body shop that will do anything for $100, then you might opt to just buy the midnight OEM grill.

Here are some pictures. Hope they help. First 2 pictures are the same just that the second one was edited down to smaller size. In pic 3 and 4, you can see the "fleck" in the paint which is not really that noticable except when light hits it just right.
