    Good luck---I asked about 50 times over the last month. Even called dealers who had 355's w/ grills to see if they would part with the grill. No luck. Bought a new one from Ricambi

    Do you have a non-challenge grille to swap?

    If its red, I'll let you know shortly. I may buy a car with a challenge grille, but I think I prefer the painted.

    Never seen one like that, but I'll search for some pictures.

    Personally, I don't like that at all. Go with either the black challenge or the painted standard grille.

    I agree, it looks very cheesy. Matte black challenge grill or stock panel only!!!

    I like the look of the stock grill. I don't really care for the black grill as I don't like the two-tone effect. I like the idea of a challenge grill and I like the painted one. The one in the picture looks a little off color. I wonder if it would look better if the color matched better.

    This is what I will probably do.........

    The holes in the grill will darken any of the lighter colors. I think two tone looks great. Especially in a red 355, the red tail lights give it that "just right" red accent.
    Your car looks so clean!!! A black challenge grill will only add to it :) .
