I've been trying to find an all black grill even where that chrome is with the lincoln symbol. any ideas or suggestions?? or anyone that makes them?
your gonna have to paint it yourself, no one makes a black grille for an LS
Many have painted their stock chrome surround grille the color of their ls so just paint it black instead of the color of your ls. It looks just as good as painting on any other part of the car, it just might not bond to the chrome like it would other surfaces.
what if i kinda roughed up the chrome? or would that just make it look worse? because i was thinking if i roughed or scuffed it a little bit and paint it black the black would hold better and it would just fill in the scuffs i put on the chrome

Have a paint shop do it. If you want to do it, from the sounds of it you might not want to, but if you do, it is not hard. Scuff the chrome real good, use flex primer, sand to smooth primer, paint, clear coat, the general steps. Follow this how to doc on painting chrome.

:slam last time a checked paint isn't considered a filler. I would highly recommend you don't take this on yourself but if you do please do some research on how to prep/paint if you want it to look good.
just my opinion, but i dont see a LPG (light color) LS looking to great with a black on black grill.... I think it would just look out of place, or that you just got in an accident and its a replacement. especially with a non sport bumper (with the chrome strip). just seems like it would be too busy on the front end.... but again, just my .02

If you think you can paint chrome without scuffing/ manipulating then you might want to take another class... or as for your money back
agreed on the chrome part.... cant really call it blacked out on a non black car though...
