WTB: 92-94 Super White Grill

Want to replace the GXE chrome grill with a color-matched SE unit. Paint must be in great condition...

If you can't find a color matched one, since the car is white, you can actually just spray the grille with rattle can white and it matches perfectly. Same for the red and black 3rd gens

You mean spray the chromed grille? Because I was wondering about getting a body colored one.

Yeah you can paint them, just scuff up the chrome really good with 320 grit sand paper to ensure that the paint sticks good, otherwise itll end up flaking off after awhile.

Ok that makes sense, because I know you can't paint on chrome because it doesn't stick. Just gotta sand it good I guess, must be a hell of a job but worth it in the end. I hate chrome.
