not sure how much extra it would cost to ship to you in canada....

if it's that big of a price jump or hard to find them, just by a used OEM chrome set and DIY it (either yourself or by a shop)

 

Yeah, to add to that, I would actually use a matte black set. The reason is that it doesn't matter if you do it or a shop does, it's going to chip at one point. At least if it's matte black underneath, it would be less noticeable.

Conversely, you could sand the chrome grilles to possibly take the paint better further, but I personally think it's a lot of work and would still end up chipping off anyway.

There's a member that I met in a meet some time ago. His grilles were painted glossy black by a shop. It looked fantastic... the parts that weren't chipped

 

what he said...painted my chrome ones but after awhile it started to chip since I traveled on the highways with lots of big semis daily. After several attempts to repaint it, I ordered the glossy black ones and never look back. For the cost of the matte black and painting it, It think it's more cost effective to go with glossy black from the get go.

 

My friend has a set that he took off his M5. No chips or broken tabs. Was on car for less than a month. He got a deal on a 911 and sold his car and took off all his mods. I can see what he wants. Let me know if ur interested ?

 

I paid $112 from Gary at Newport.
