I have a black chrome one and everyone that sees it loves it. It's the one that doesn't have an emblem.

My personal favorite is the K-Break one. It's insanely expensive though.

I've been thinking about doing that. Is it hard to remove in case I want to go back to my black chrome grille?

3 years ago I replaced my OEM grill with chrome grill with no emblem, then a year later I switched to a black chrome no emblem grill, then a year after that I decided I liked the standard OEM grill best on my car so I put it back on.

Changing the grill is a super easy 15 min job. Most of the abs based plastic replacement grills offered on ebay are good quality and not very expensive - get one from a high rated seller or you may get junk. Have fun and experiment.

no its not bc they put on at least 3 layers which allows you to peel it off.. checkout dipyourcar.com

jimbosr1: could you provide some info on how long you've had your chrome grill and how it's holding up against the elements? Also, what ebay seller did you source your grill from and how much was it? I checked on ebay and there are several sellers but I rather go with one that someone can vouch for if at all possible.

Thanks in advance,
Randy G.
