It's custom-made. If I sell it, I will let you know.

Oh, sorry. I thought you were referring to my custom one. You are correct. They come up every now and then in the PPC.

You can buy a JDM black ABS plastic grille for $45:

Or you can buy an OEM Black Sand Pearl grille from your dealer. I called the three dealers around my city and was quoted $171, $131 and $115.

With my discount at the dealership I paid $101.50 for the grill and the emblem. I think its well worth it when you think about the OEM part and you know its gonna fit. It looks totally rad in my opinion...

...Oh yeah. heres my ride. Looks even better with a BSP hood!

What would be the best paint (DIY) to use on the grill?
