2K Front Grills: What are the options??

The FAQ only has two threads about grills...


Can I replace a 2k bumper cover with a 2k2+? > It says I have no permission to access it?

Can I paint my front grill? > Broken Link, it goes to a vague thread.




so whats the deal with 5th Gen grill? How can I remove it, and paint it? Or remove it and replace with a different mesh?



TIA!

hhow about the mesh? are they simply cutting off the existing grill and replacing it with a mesh? What if u want to sell the car and put the original mesh back?

You can buy the Street Scenes aluminum mesh grille, if they still make it.

My grille was so chipped up, I had to do something about it. I just did this today, we will see how it turns out. Sorry for the quality of the pics, I took them with my cellphone. I chose to use ultra flat black.

I personally don't like the headlights so much but the grill looks like it came out really nice.
