    They offer a white one which is what I purchased, so yes and no to your question. Looks like you have LR?
    You can see it in my profile.
    I say go for it, I've never seen a color matched pro grille in LR.

    yes i have seen the white before - yours looks fantastic - i think it looks a lot better than the black Pro grille (sorry Pro grille friends)

    I've only seen color matched bar on the 40th anniversary editions.

    I really like how the non-Pro bar on the other models is the painted body color. It's one of the reasons I haven't been tempted by the Pro grille swap.

    Thanks Mawdawg, I love having it as sooo many go with the black version.

    I hear ya Gary, the swap wasn't really even on my radar till I saw TSO had a white one. I feel too many out there have the black pro grill, don't get me wrong I like the look, just think its's a little saturated.

    exactly - I didn't even think about painting the black one until I stumbled upon the white one on their website

    If the factory MGM color and clear coat could be duplicated, I'd consider it.
