Replacing Chrome Grill for a Paint matched

[JPat]

Has anyone removed the stock grill and installed a paint matched in its place? I want to do this to our new limited, but not sure if a vendor sells a prepainted grill or I would have to buy and paint.

I am going through the same thing, I got a paint to match, it didn't match, I am sending it back. If memory serves, it is about 350 to get it from the dealer.

My paint to match from the dealer turned out great. I suspect that if you spoke directly to the body shop, you may get a better price than if you initiate the job through the service manager.

One thing you guys might want to consider when going to a painted grill is some paint protection film. JPat could probably get away without it in Fla.but arrow,a winter in Mi. is gonna chip the hell out of that thing.I found this site on the web that actually has pre cut pieces for the factory grill but check around you may find a better deal.
