Seems to be the cheapest (if not only) place I can find a black H3 grille pre-painted to match factory colors. Has anyone done business with this site before?

BLACK HUMMER H3 & H3 t FRONT RADIATOR GRILLE

 

I think the key sentence in their add gives away the good price:
"Designed for perfect fit and easy installation"
What that sentence tells me is that it's not an OEM part, but a reproduction.

 

haha when you first open it there is a big box that says search aftermarket accessories....that kinda says it all but I would imagine its a legit store just no oem parts.

 

Good point; didn't even think about that. Do you think I should try to find an OEM grille instead or get mine painted? Know of any places selling OEM black grilles these days?

 

I took another look at that grill add. They give a part number, and although I can't say that it is the OEM number for that grill I can say that it is a GM part number, soooo...who knows

 

That's all good and well but I can just as easily show you a picture of some cheap crap and give you an OEM part number. It would be cheaper to have your chrome grill painted.

 

Good point - I'll give them a call tomorrow and see what the deal is!

I'll look into this as well; should I expect a painted grille hold up just as the factory paintjob has (provided I bring it to an autobody shop, etc.)?

 

It is a legit site, and 19156161 is a OEM grille part number...you just have to choose a color. But you can get it cheaper here $301.88 plus shipping, again you have to choose the color.

 

Thanks for the part numer! Found it even cheaper here!

 

I'd be interested in seeing an example of an add that shows a reproduction part, and uses a GM part number without a disclaimer that states: "Replaces part number XXXXXXXX" ! Being a GM/Delphi engineer for 23 years, I can tell you they'd be in some deep sh_t!
