Default new grille for 2015 SQ7

I'm trying to find a gloss black grille for my 2015 SQ7 and everything I find either has the stupid front license plate area (that I don't need) or doesn't have the cutouts (?) for the parking sensors and front camera. I would rather purchase an entire new grille rather than do a chrome delete because I don't like the look of the original with the license plate holder. Anyone have any luck finding something that ticks all those boxes? Thanks

I hope I am understanding your predicament correctly.

I bought a filler plate and had it vinyl wrapped in gloss black.

Factory front plate

New plate filler

Wrapped entire plate filler and chrome strips in gloss black vinyl.

Default Very nice

That looks very nice. If I can’t find the honeycomb grille I want, this will be what I do. Thanks for sharing.

Every honeycomb grill I have seen does not have the parking sensors or front camera. Otherwise I would have gone that route.

Default Honeycomb grille

I have found some with sensor spots but not camera spots. However, the holes of the grille appear to be big enough to allow for the camera to be placed in one. Not sure I’m willing to pay $300+ to find out I’m wrong though.
