I'm not positive, but I'd be interested to know as well. Maybe some who has replaced their grill can comment. However, I don't think it's possible as my understating is that each side is one solid piece.

There is yet to be any grill/frame other than the stock one available for those of us with night vision.
I'm sure that someone with the appropriate tools and ability could easily produce a one-off piece.

Get a replacement one or your original painted gloss black. Easiest way.
I bought mine through iND via this forum. But I suppose you could have yours painted for about the same price considering postage and customs charges.

Why not just spray paint it black or PlastiDip?
