Default Where to find a body color grille

What's the best place to find a body color grille (black)? Can these be found on ebay or are members here trading out for chrome pieces?
The dealer quoted me $550 installed + tax. This seems a liittle high.

what year is your H2? Many retailers can order one for you, seems that one for a 2007 and below are a bit cheaper and easier to find. 2008 and up a bit more expensive and harder to find.

I just ordered one in black for my 2008, if you need the part number let me know.

You'd be money ahead to take it to your local paint shop and have them paint the one you have.

it's only 4 nuts and some clips to take off.... etch the chrome with a primer, shoot the black... $200ish should get you home.

If you have a good safe place to do it yourself it can easily be done as well.

I personally used Hammered Krylon and I am about 95% happy with it. I had a small issue with the chrome and that cannot be fixed. I will someday get a new one... but for now it looks pretty decent.

I used 4 cans to end up with the texture I wanted.
