That looks like the OEM look to me, it's just black. Don't think there are many other choices out there, except for the one I have from eBay, which has the rounded edges on the outside.

I had the same problem, I couldn't find an OEM style matte black grilles. I bought mine off of eBay but Trinity Auto sport sells the exact same grilles. Fitment is great and they are as close to OEM that you are going to find.

No Problem buddy! It took me two months, numerous emails, PMs, phone calls, return shipments and countless headaches to find the correct ones.

Most sellers have OEM style grilles pictured in their adverts but then end up sending the customer NON-OEM style grilles. I don't think they are doing it on purpose to screw anyone, unfortunately I just don't think they know the difference.
