for some reason textured plastic doesn't fade the same way though 
At least put a clear sealant on it to protect the color from fading. i got my grille in today, and it looks great! i took it to the paint shop and they are only charging me 1 hour paint labor plus materials = total $75! that is cheap!
how do i know this you ask? i have installed a grille on another car and left the smooth black plastic as is... 3 months later it started to show signs of fading, i installed it about a year ago and it looks like sh!t now.
if you don't believe me, you'll be doing this every 6 months!

How did you install one a year ago when they just became availible to purchase? Not to mention the Camaro hasn't even been on sale for a entire year..... These grills are not made of the same plastic that the fender flares on a Jeep are made of... they come in the same finish that the aero kit from GM is painted, do they fade too?
