    Well, I think I'm going to try my hand at a satoshi grille, color match it, etc etc, and I don't want the headache of trying it on my current chrome grille :eek:. I'm on parts geek, and there are three different kinds of grilles on there, all varying in price. I know why the chrome grille is the most expensive, but I'm not sure why the other two are varying in price, aside from that they are different color. I thought initially that the first one wasn't painted, but the picture shows otherwise.

    Am I missing something here? Any help would be awesome.

    I think you're right. A friend of mine has an SR5 and his grille is a metallic grey color slightly lighter than MGM. The other grille is gloss black. If you have to paint it either way, just get the cheaper one.
