Default Blacked out grill

I have been searching to buy a decent looking blacked out grill. I have searched this forum and I do not want to do plasti dip it. I have done that before and I don't like the texture or finish. I have also went to OSIR but, they are crazy expensive cause it's carbon fiber.

Does anybody have any links?

Were you looking for a full replacement like this?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Aud...#ht_526wt_1397

Or maybe consider wrapping the chrome pieces with vinyl? Cost will be lower for wrap.

Good luck!

That is what I was looking for. I am very leery of eBay based on past issues. I really do not like dealing over seas. I appreciate the info though.

If you don't want to go through ebay, I believe Europrice will be a good alternative as quite a few forum members have used them:

Good luck!

Use Plasti-Dip!

Been there, done that. Plasti dip is a cheap alternative and you will find it won't last. The texture is not smooth either.

Should be smooth, mine is great and it has lasted well. You may be doing it wrong

I'm glad it has worked out for you, it's just not for me.
