    Badgeless Grille - any color

    Like the title says, looking to go with the badgeless grille on my 2003 MM.

    Getting the car painted, so any color grille would work.

    TIA

    Thanks, but that seems a bit high to me. Not sure what they are going for. I have a few PMs about this and am waiting for quotes, so maybe.

    Thanks for your message.

    Good luck finding a good grille and a donor grille to make one with for less than that, then you still have to build the grille...

    I can say the main grill is yes.
    The bars I have no way of knowing. The seller told me it was built for him by zack whoever that is.

    If people are getting 400 for bageless grilles I'm going into business. Anyways it's really easy to do. And if your painting it just go get a grand marquis grille from the junk yard of you have to have one. And buy the donor grille from eBay for 30 bucks. And while you could use two part epoxy from home depot and the like, I order West systems handy repair pack enough to do the job and was like 15 bucks.

    Sounds like you're volunteering.

    There is a difference between OEM and aftermarket grills but IMHO nut that much that one would have to worry about using it, especially if you are going to make a badge-less grill.

    I prefer aftermarket. They seem to have better flex in the plastics and not so brittle.

    They are really easy to make. I'll admit painting to color match would be some what tricky and pricey but still not impossible
