it is a bit steep- the price of originality I guess. I probably could have painted mine for alot cheaper but I thought these might look better. they should be more like 10 dollars more rather than double the cost of the regular ones...

Can you take some better pictures of the black chrome emblem? It hardly looks like its black chrome. I went to order it but I looked at your comparison pictures again and decided not to..Theyre so similar

until i get a better pic you might see the color better in this one. if you look closely at this one the emblem is slightly darker than the grille. compare that to the first pic-

If you want the grille black have it powder coated
gloss black! Paint will be a matter of having to re-do
it every six months to keep it looking "right" By
powder-coating you have it done once....your through!
