2017+ MKZ Grille Differences

Does anyone have a comprehensive understanding of the various grilles available for the 17+ MKZ? I want to convert the front of my car to gloss black trim & grilles, and am trying to find the most cost effective way to do so. 

 

For starter's, is the below summary correct?

 

Base Grille:                          Upper - Chrome Center, Chrome Trim             Lower Grilles - Chrome Trim w/ black plastic centers

Driver's Pkg Grille:              Upper - Mag Gray Center, Chrome Trim          Lower Grilles - Chrome Trim w/ black plastic centers   (same as "Magnetic Pkg" for '19-'20 Years in appearance)

Black Label Grille:              Upper - Black Center, Chrome Trim                  Lower Grilles - Chrome Trim w/ black plastic centers

'20 Monochrome Grille:     Upper - Black Center, Chrome Trim                  Lower Grilles - Black Trim w/ black plastic centers 

 

Therefore, there should be three different part #'s for the upper grilles, and 2 part numbers for the lowers if the above summary is correct. 

 

If the goal is to convert my '17 Driver's Pkg car to all black.(and keep my original grille on the side)  I could:

 

Option #1: Purchase the Black Label/Monochorme upper, and Mono lowers - Paint or Vinvyl the Upper Trim to match the Gloss Black (most expensive choice?)

Option #2: Purchase the Black Label/Monochrome Upper - Paint or Vinyl the Upper Trim AND lowers (Probably cheaper than Option#1 and just as effective) 

Option#3: Buy used chrome grille, Paint the entire thing, and paint the lower trim pieces with it. 

 

Trying to find the most cost effective way to convert, by either ordering new parts, or mix/matching used parts and painting or wrapping the pieces. 

 

** If anyone has any part#'s they can share, that would be helpful!**
