Cool. I just took my out, washed it, sanded it and spayed it down with 4 coats of some kind of black spray paint.
Hope that does the job. I can always repaint it with something better if I have to. :roll:

Where did you get the mesh for the grille?
I haven't decided if I want to keep the fins or not.

And I broke off the SAAB emblem in the center of my grille so I ordered a Euro Badge to cover it.
If I don't like it, I'll just find a new OEM emblem.

I'll put some pictures up when I'm done...for anyone who cares. :p

Thanks for the help NineThree.

Alright, just put it in. Here is before, during and after:

I like a black grille on white, red, black, and silver (with black wheels) saabs. My aero is steele grey metallic with stock klingons, so I think a black grille would look out of place. What do you guys think of flat silver with no fins, no center bar, and the oem symbol on the mesh in the center?

If you guys want to paint your grille to match the car, most part stores will mix paint from your code and put it in a rattle can. It's not terribly expensive either.

Make sure you scuff it up real good, use a good primer and many coats with plenty of drying time in between.

P.S. now I'm starting to think I should paint my grille to match my wheels. :)
