Thanks for the compliments. My crappy 1 megapixel camera doesn't show details that well, so you can't really see the bars going across the grille...or anything at all!

My uncle is a fire dept. mechanic and he sprayed a few coats of the spraypaint after using the sandpaper to get rid of the chrome. I wasn't there during the painting though. I was thinking about doing the same for the emblem but realized it looked better without it on. It has a more menacing look now. The farther away one is from the car, the better it looks. All I need now are strobe lights.

Nice car man. I'd like to see a close up of the grille or some more light on it. But I think it looks agressive. BTW, looks like you have ABS...I guess GXEs with drums also had ABS available. What kind of paint did you use?

DaBoxGTI, flat black spraypaint was used. I'll take a closeup photo of it tomorrow. I looks really nice from about 30 feet away though. And I have four-wheel disc brakes with ABS.
