I had them painted black, but the paint started to chip away - so I ordered new wider black ones from ebay for like $50. Whatever you do please don't get those chrome looking ones.

97+ kidney grills stick out a bit, and are more rounded.. it requires a new nose panel. Look at 1BADBMR's signature to see how the 97+ kidneys look.

Black grill match just about any color. I sanded my grill down and painted them flat back. It was ok for about 4 months, untill the paint started to chip
