Default Radiator support?

I was wondering where I can find an aftermarket radiator support. I seen one on bmr website but I don't want the polished one. I just really would like a black one don't need all that bling under the hood, when I already don't have any at all ya know! Im putting the sts turbo on right now didn't want the factory one to be there!
Thanks
Jimmy

A little sand paper and some paint go along way.

Agreed, spend a few bucks at the local auto store for some 320, 400, 600, 1000 grit sandpaper, some filler primer, a can of duplicolor of your choice and some clear. Good To Go.

Yes I understand I could do this! But, why buy something that pretty just to make it ugly! I was wondering if maybe someone already made a black one.
Thanks

Well, your choices are pretty limited. You can either buy an $89 BMR support and a $5 can of paint or buy a $300 FIPK kit that comes in black and throw away the $200 filter.

ATI uses a black steel sheetmetal upper rad. support to replace the stock one. but then you'll have to get a diff. air filter setup. here's the best pic I got. look under the air box for the supercharger.
