Best Looking Grill?

I am yet to see an aftermarket grille on a G37 coupe that looks good. I think painted stock looks best.

Not that I mind. This one is nice, too:

A decent body shop can take your stock grille and paint it gloss black for a very good simulacrum of the midnight grille. I priced it out before buying my current CF grille, and they wanted ~120 bucks for painting the grille gloss black and color matching the emblem and fog trim rings.

exactly what he said... I got quoted 120 bucks just as well for painting mine gloss black and color matching the emblem to the graphite shadow I have and that price seems pretty good comparing to what others have been quoted elsewhere. getting it done possibly this saturday.
No.. I have plastidipped mine temporarily when I first took off the bumper to install HID kit for fog lights... but that's been temporarily and about to finally get it painted professionally gloss black with color matched emblem ( graphite shadow) looks so much better not as cheap and rice'y as plastidip..

The guy said they would take it off and install.. he basically told me he'd only charge me 100 to get it painted and about 20 bucks to remove and install and probably another 20 to professionally remove the plastidip... so this way I can just drop it off worry free for couple hours on saturday and not worry about taking off the grille off my DD and such... if it was actually someone else at that body shop he said they'd have to write up a whole job ticket and it'd probably be twice as much as he quoted me... cool dude a car enthusiast too with a gorgeous blue 2002 E39 6MT M5
