Can you part the grille out - can you separate the center slat sections away from the ring/or frame that holds it?

Let me explain why. I want to purchase a gloss black double slats grille for my F11. However I only want the gloss black slats, but I want to retain the outer frame in chrome for OEM look. Most of the aftermarket (in fact all) double slats grilles with chrome surrounds have a matte black slats. ... its the little things.

Any advice ? You guys who took your grilles out, do they look like they can be parted out themselves to replace inner slats?
Yes, the grill is 2 pieces. I had NO success trying that with a Taiwanese grill innards and stock outers. I ended up separating the stock grill, painting the inside section flat black and reassembling the grill.
