only two of the 08 lancers at the gta meet had the black upper grille.
mine and the blue gts.
the blue gts used flat black vinyl (did it all himself)
and my lancer is the de model…so it came with it (and no, i don’t want to trade. lol)

basically you have three options;
1. go to the dealer and purchase the DE upper grille frame.
2. get some flat-black vinyl, take out the grille, and go nuts.
3. get some flat-black paint, take out the grille, sand it down, and go nuts…
