Default C5 Billet Grills

Does anybody make a Polished Billet Grill for a C5? The only place I found so far is Mr Grill but it is the brushed aluminum look. I've tried searching here and yahoo and so on but so far have had no luck. I thought I would ask and see if anybody on the board could help me out. Thanks so much!

The mounting hardware supplied needs to modified considerably but if you have patients and are handy they look factory.
Good luck, Tom.

Tombone,

Yeah that's what I heard. I would buy it if it was cheaper. You wanna sell yours?

Thanks for the pic! It looks good! Was it hard to install? Thanks!
