I was at the dealer today to get my replacement ash try (I broke mine doing the NAV install) and I mention to my Service guy that I like the V grill, but I want the black version. He says "Vogue Tyre has one is stock. Do you want it?" Vogue started at $695 and we ended up at $500 installed. I was out the door in 20 minutes.

Here are the pics, tell me what you think!

Looks really nice, I think the black mesh grill would only look good on certain car colors, such as yours.

I agree, it does look nice. By your name I assume the CTS is Moonstone. I'm not so sure that would look as good on say a white CTS. But in your case, a winner. $$$was kinda high but it will be pretty exclusive. Enjoy.

Looks nice! Did the $500 include the lower grille as well? Looks like the lower one matches the upper one.

Love it!

Yeah, the upper and lower were a set. I know the price was a bit high, but it's something I wanted, so I treated myself.

I have a black CTS and called Vogue in regards to the same grille...they told me $700. I laughed and hang up on the guy, bought a CTS-V grille for $210 after tax and shipping and will get it powdercoated black, the same way they did for $50. I just saved $290 for the exact same thing. I'd get my money back if I were you. Vogue charges Armani prices for Non-Armani products.

I too, have a black CTS. I inquired with a powder coating place in my area, for $80.00, I can have it done. They specialize in motorcycle parts, so they should know what they are doing. I agree, I love the way it looks, but $500 is steep. $300 is a little easier to digest.

i think the blac looks a lot better then the plain chicken wire type, and i do like the crome a lil to0 but the normal wire one looks like it belongs on a honda

It was built in 1950 and it's a Lake House, which means it probably started as some Sears Catalog House and was added on to a few times. The only addition I'm aware of was two years ago and it was the 3rd floor and the 2nd floor of the far left, which is the Master Bedroom with Catherdral Ceiling. I've only owned the house for a year, so the history is limited.

Good luck on that search Joey....I've only seen the horizontal...As far as vertical, I've seen them on SUVs mostly...Escalades and Navigators are the most popular....I'll keep my eyes peeled out here in LA 4 ya!

It definately looks just like the V Grill painted. Having the painted mesh does make the emblem stand out more though.
