Where to purchase gloss black grills

Since Tischer doesn't ship internationally now , does anyone know any other vendors that sell these grills?

Or you can simply have the body shop paint your chrome grills to gloss black

I agree, I prefer matte black because the ones we carry are an actual black plastic that does not chip.

High maintenance meaning they need to be cleaned often? Or they are poor quality and need touch up?

You care for them like the rest of your car's body, the issue is that painted grills are right in the cross fire of road debris and rocks so they will cheap more easily than a set of matte black grills.

Really? I never noticed that with mine. I better check. Better yet, what I don't know probably won't hurt or bother me.
