No prob. But I'm going to warn you...I could not find a good angle of the black grille. So this is a really ghetto chop here.

The white grill would look fine if it wasn't for the large white square behind it. Cover that part of the pic and I like the look. Perhaps paint it black or cut it out if possible. Another option to consider.

Wow, you guys are right.... it has to go back to black..... of course when I have the time.... DOes anyone knows if I use paint stripper, will that damage the grill? and will it go back to the original color? or will it damage the color?

Alright, this one was a little bit of a pain, but I think I did a decent job of getting rid of that white rectangle behind the center part. IMHO, you still need to go all black or put in an aftermarket grille like Metal Maxima. You could also try doing everything black except for the very top (most forward) set of bars (the two medium-sized ones running horizontally) and the thin trim around the outside of the whole grille. That might look cool. (But I'm not going to try to photochop that one.)
