    I've read that the white plasti-dip is not a good match with the super white . Paint might be a last resort...

    When I had my Superwhite, I painted my surround with Rustoleum white. Damn near perfect match. Even after I told people they could not see a difference. Prep is the key- then 3 coats white primer and 3 coats paint and I never had an issue with chipping, cracking or fading. Less that $20 invested.

    Pruchai I am trying to avoid buying an entirely new grille assembly. I just wanted the bezel that trims the grille. The link you posted appears to be for a full grille...I guess I could do that and try to sell my OEM one to lessen the cost. Thanks for the link!

    I don't think anyone sells a separate bezel. And whats the problem with replacing the whole thing, exactly? Buy the whole new grille, install it and and sell your old one? Mine sold on CL for $120 in under a day.

    Just saying. I think the spirit of this website is DIY or to find deals when DIY isn't feasible. In this case, believe it is totally feasible.:thumbsup:

    nothing cool
    Just buy an entire new grille and sell your old one. Sold my chrome grille for $75 and he even gave me his older chrome grille off his truck. Then I sold it for $60.

    It's actually a near perfect match.

    Just not glossy.

    White PlastiDip with glossifier is pretty spot on.
