Need help with midnight chrome grill

I had just purchased a used 09 sh-awd tl with tech for a fairly good price. It's cbp and I am seeing these photos with this decent looking chrome grille. Now here where my problem lies when searching on some acura oem sites when I type in the part number the description says it's for a 2010 and 2011. I'm assuming the grille size and dimensions are all the same for 09-11 please clarify. Thank you much. Also some photos I look at, the chrome seems darker than other photos, is that the lighting or are there two different shades out there?

I have the midnight chrome grill on my '09 SH-AWD TL, and it fits just fine, I put it on myself. Yes, it is darker than the other chrome on the vehicle. I have chrome 20" aftermarket rims and the grill is darker than regular chrome, but it's not off by too much.

On acuraoemparts.com, the stock chrome grill is the same part number for the 2009 and the 2011 TL:

2011:

The 2010 / 2011 midnight chrome grill should fit your 2009.

I have the sport rear trim in midnight chrome, and the color appears to change depending on the angle that light is hitting it. At times it looks like dark graphite gray while other times it looks like a bright chrome.
