Or maybe just buy the midnight black grill. What do you think looks better?

The quotes I got ranged from $150-$200. The factory black grill can be had on Ebay for $200-$250.

If you don't mind DIY you can try wrapping your grill.

Spencey, saw your pic of "the twins" looking good, but wrapping your window trim is an easy DIY that will match your bike even better

I paid $250 to get my grill and trim painted black. I was quoted more than $400 for wrapping them both. I wish I had gone the wrapping route as the paint is not holding up super well after 2 years. I recently bought a new OEM Midnight grill off ebay for $165 shipped. It might be best to just buy the OEM midnight and wrap the outside edges yourself. It'd be solid black and should last longer.

It lets you make an offer for it, so if you put in $150, it automatically accepts it. Saves $10 off the asking price.

Good luck man

You think if you then wrapped the chrome in vinyl it would look ok?

IIRC, I had a shop tell me $120 to paint the slats like the Midnight Grille.

Paid $275 instead for a more custom look.

Well I got mine for free :P

$120-150 should be more or less the price.
