I thought there was a shop where you can buy them like this? There is a shop that does this. You can buy them like this. Any gloss color of your car and they can even spray the entire set gloss black if you want.

Looks good though.

Makes me want to order the all gloss black... I meant to say they are made to order with some down time but once they are done you can get them overnighted. lol

Looks sharp though.

On some cars the all black grill just looks better than others. Your car looks great, very classy look, the total package. I really like the hyperblack wheels with TiAg, great look

I gave up painting grilles black. Only a matter of time before rock chips start chipping it away.

I will probably order some gloss black ones over the winter if these dont hold up. this car isnt my daily, and rarely sees rain, so im not too worried about them chipping anytime soon.
