Looks awesome Dave!! The black grills look much better, matches the lower mesh nicely. 
Must have took you forever to find those perfect OEM style black grills

Thanks, buddy! Yeah...after an exhaustive search and much debate, I was able to find the perfect ones on eBay, all by myself, with no help from anyone...not you or ProvidenceLeaf (Mark).

The grille looks great; I agree with the above poster "a meaner look". Do you remember the sellers or stores name on eBay?

Gary, Sent you a PM.

BTW, these are the "OEM-style" grills, unlike the others that have a more rounded look.

So, at 3AM I decided to try and pop my side grills out. It wasn't so hard after all....some masking tape along the bottom edge for "just in case" and a few butter knives, and out they popped!
Here are some preliminary pics.....more tomorrow (later today!):
