Another option for you. A friend of mine has a SGM Heritage grill on order, she paid about $430 painted and shipped....

Whatever you decide, please post a pic of it. I've got a synergy green and would like to see how it looks.

I would go color matched.

I think Gary's custom here on the boards sells them finished, you install.

Install will take about 2hrs the first time. Jack & two stands is all you need.

Go color matched, order one from Garys customs...install it yourself and pay way way less than $500+. Could probably get it painted and shipped for about 350 to 370 from him.

and no its not "cheaping out".

Clear coating will give it a glossy look. It depends if you want a matte or gloss look

Buy a standard heritage grille and check around in your area for a paint shop that will paint it for you. It's probably going to be cheaper than buying a painted one from GM.

You should be able to find one that will paint it for $100-150.
