Rust? On a plastic grille?

Look around the forum. Quite a few guys have done this. Personally, I left the front of the grill gunmetal colored and painted the insides of the grille black.

What color is your Max?

I like the gunmetal color myself but black insides would be cool. I guess I would need to see it first.

I'll post up pics when the weather breaks. The black is subtle, and hardly noticeable, but it's certainly a lot nicer than the nasty green color they used on the inside of the OEM grilles.

I hate when my plastic rusts.

Paint it whatever color suites you, then post pictures.

Paint match it to the color of your car, do the inside black. Looks hot and is really the only way to go if youre going to do it.
