Default Front filler plate options. Who has grey/chrome?

ECS offers these options.
1. Black with brushed aluminum, this is what comes from factory.
2. Black with black strips
3. Grey with Chrome

Anyone have pics of the Grey with Chrome on a vehicle?
thanks!

Default I have it, but it looks more like phantom black to me unless in direct sunlight.

EDIT: Went to ECS site, there are so many options not sure which one I have now. It came on the car when I bought it. It has metalic in it, but looks like a very dark charcoal grey...who knows.

Default is there an after-market part for the grille surround?

in matte/satin black finish?

Default no, you have to buy the entire grille with the surround.

your choices are similar to the filler plate: black, polished aluminum (stock), or chrome (S4). however the S4 grille also has a different mesh pattern.

Default he's talking about the <<<S4>>>, not the RS4.

here's my old S4 with the stock grille and gray/chrome filler plate...the S cars definitely have more of a 'bling' look to them (which is cool too):

Default btw, you should leave your filler plate just the way it is.

it's a weakness in the design of the grille (or perhaps in a more euphemistic sense, it's a "compromise"), and minimizing its appearance is best, in my opinion.
