Does anyone know the part numbers for the shadowline pieces?

My car has the cerium vent, front vent, grill surround and mirrors and was thinking to go all black as the car is black. It might be cheaper to paint the parts vs. buy new ones but I thought i'd see first before deciding.

I have the active grill so not sure you can even swap the grill surround? Anyone know?

I’ll trade you for OEM gloss black shadow line parts, let me know….

Mine were cerium gray as well but I painted the mirror caps, lower air vents and truck spoiler black. I put covers on the side fender vents. My grille was already black. I may paint the mirrors white to match and paint the spoiler back white.

I'm in Australia so it might not be practical.

The grill is a complete swap, pretty easy, I changed mine 3 times and I got to about 30 seconds for a change. Gloss black OEM M-Performance Grill is $175, knock-offs are plentiful on Amazon and eBay starting at $50 bucks or less.

Fender vents are also easy to find and pretty cheap. Easy install.

Mirror caps, there are a zillion aftermarket choices as well as OEM (which is pricey). Easy install.

Now here is where it sucks, the front bumper vent trim is out of production/discontinued for one of the sides. I can't remember which side, but they are impossible to find. These trim pieces are also the biggest bitch to remove, but it can be done with patience without removing the bumper. Most people just wrap these themselves. It's down low and the wrap is $30 bucks on Amazon with enough for trial and error. I honestly think this could be a better route than replacing if you could get both sides because removal of the old ones sucks.

You could buy aftermarket ones for much cheaper. I’m also in Aus and replaced all my cerium grey with gloss black from Mars Performance. Easy to swap it all over.

Will have a look, my car is pre-LCI 2020 so the grill is different to LCI.

Did you buy the whole grill and only swap the surround?

Thanks.

Grille on pre LCI is even easier to do. LCI is one piece and you have to swap the camera over as well. Pre LCI is separate pieces for each side and is just the grille. Super easy and quick to change over. It’s the whole thing, and not just the surround.

Mirrors and side vents are easy to do as well. The front bumper inserts are a bit trickier though. When I had a pre LCI, I paid someone else to do them as I couldn’t be bothered with the hassle

Same, with the exception of the grill. I swapped in an M-Performance black gloss grill and I felt it really improved the asthetics of the front end. There was just something about the cerium trim around the grill that felt Lincoln-ish to me.
