    Brushed aluminum kidney grilles

    Hey everyone! It's been a little since a last posted, sadly I didn't get any replies about a cinnamon interior :/ anyway. My next endeavor: I would really like to have the kidney grilles in brushed aluminum. Does anyone know if a high quality version of that exists? Thanks in advance guys.

    Can't help you there buddy (I'd rather keep my car stock).

    Consider this a bump though.

    Thanks, and I am 100% in the same boat as keeping things factory, it's just that one thing that I am really interested in doing.

    That's kind of what I was thinking, just not sure where if find it, and I wonder how tedious the slats would be.

    If in the end a brushed aluminum grille does not exist, what do you guys think about wet-sanding the stock chrome one?
