Default Rear Lid Grill Slots ?

Hi, I have a 4S coupe chalk color in order and we all know that the 4S rear grill slots come in silver color and the S models in black.
I personally love the black as my order has basically everything in black, from wheels, stone guards and badging so the silver rear grill slots really don't go well for my personal taste.

Can they be replaced easy, meaning just the silver part of the slots to be removed and clip back in the black ones ?
Or we need to probably replace the entire grill ?

This helps disassemble the grill, but I don't know if the individual slat with the silver insert will disassemble any further.

It’s really subtle — it’s not like they are chrome. I’d wait until you get the car.

Or get them painted in chalk. A very nice touch.

You should’ve just ordered a 2S. Money saved, no need to change the grill!

I ordered my 992 with black highlights, including the rear grill.
Has your freeze date past?
