I LOVE IT...

It turned out great and almost matches the wheels perfectly.






I've got this one for sale if anyones interested. Primed and ready for paint/mesh. PM for details.

Thanks.

I got lucky. The wheels were powdercoated a month or so ago and we basically had to eyeball a color match. It's a low gloss vinylized paint from an 06 model year Porsche.


As far as blacking the headlight go I think I'll pass...

EVERYONES doing it. It's played out already. Plus this is my winter set-up, I don't think it would flow with my summer look.

Nice job KC. Grill looks fantastic. Flows perfectly with the wheels and the rest of the car.

True a lot of people are doing it. Maybe you should get a 2nd pair of headlights to black out just for the winter? And your summer look is hot.

Thanks for the input.

Leaving the emblem would have taken away from the "custom" look I had in mind...

That and looked like everyother max on the road.

Search for "Painted grille" threads.

Did you get your headlight issues squared away?

I love the no emblem look on your grille! You are right, it does set you apart from the rest and with it matching up to the wheels, it has a custom, yet "factory oem" look to it!

that first grill looks way nicer than what you have on your "summer" look.

I think the second grill... along with what everyone else has on this forum other than stock is just absolutely hideous. If i wanted to throw chicken wire on my car I would have bought a honda civic... If i wanted a grill that looks like blinds i'd buy an impala and put 26" wheels on it.
