you are just looking for the stock grille but in chrome right?
if so, run a search on chrome grille or ask "bastion" (i think that's how you spell it). he or someone had a DIY chrome grille. all you need is some nail polish remover or something like that.

if i find the pic, i will send it to ya.

Are you talking about a chrome billet drill like this?

OR

A stock chrome grill? Here's the origins (Jaspher) of this idea.

No, the grille is not painted. I discovered that the finish underneath the painted grille was chrome when I got some stone chips on the grille.
What I did was soaked the grille with Verethane paint and varnish remover and the paint came off easy. Once the paint is off I washed the grille with dishwasher detergent. when it was dry I applyed some wax on it.
