Anybody with Matte Black Kidneys

AgsWin · 12-08-2011, 09:53 PM

I have seen the performance grills that are gloss black, but havent seen many people selling matte black grills.

Does anybody have aftermarket matte black grills and if so where can I buy them from?

Not I, but you can easily sand the chrome finish off the louvers and make them matte black. I did it after I had my bezels painted to match my body color. The chrome on the bezel is much more durable. I ended up going all gloss to match shadowline.
