Stay with silver or paint it gloss black?

 

I painted mine black and I like it 1000x more

 

I plastidipped it black btw

 

^^ Agreed

 

Black ... that's what I plan to do with mine.

 

You got pics of yours dipped? I might do it this weekend and see how i feel about it.

 

Gloss black in the middle and chrome on the outside would give it the best look. That's how I have mines. You probably should of painted it before the install. Makes things 10x easier and faster.

 

Only takes a minute to take apart. I painted my original grille insert black.

 

i went with all black except for the burger and love it

I only have black plastidip on there, thinking about adding some glossifier (hope that looks good)

 

Where'd you get the grille if you don't mind me asking

 

Is yours painted?

 

Got it on Ebay

 

I actually used black trim tape and blacked out the grille. I also added the EZ-Lip.

hi im new to the forum can anyone help i want to replace my stock grill with a badgeless billet grill how do i remove the old and install the new

 

Wait so you used black trim tape to black it out? I'm kind of confused because I don't really know what trim tape is, but did you essentially place tape on the grill?

 

Plasti Dip it...very durable and looks great:

 

Looks like I'm doing this too. Should've came that way from the factory, really does look 1000x better in black. I don't even like the chrome trim around the grille like on the sports package, I think it looks best all blacked out.

 

+1

Close-up pics and how you did it would be appreciated. Looks good from far! How's it holding up, etc?

 

Painted just the bars in the middle gloss black. I'm happy with it for now.

 

I just plasti dipped the front burger only on my Sport grille.

 

When you guys plasti dipped the grill, did you guys take it off or just spray it directly on?

 

Directly on. You purposely tape off about an inch away from the border so the excess peels easier...also don't forget to put cardboard behind it to prevent overspray into the radiator.

 

How many coats of Plastidip and did you use any of the glossifier?

 

I did four coats to be safe and add durability....no glossifier. To touch it even months after the fact you'd think it was plastic and cans that way...no chips.

 

plastidip is a matte black though, and even with the glossifier doesnt look like a gloss black. if you dont goto shows or anything plastidip is fine, if you like to show off the car id go with a real paint job.

 

Here's an idea of how to take it off. This is a friend of mine's Sonata that I dipped awhile back:

 

Tape not take*

 

What he said. I wanted my grille to match my lower black plastic grille so I went with the matte finish. Definitely not a fan of the glossifier unless it's on wheels since it gives a little pop but not a true "gloss" like a paint job would.

 

Like this

 

Sport grille.
Burger plasti dipped.
Stillen lip.
Plasti dipped lower grille.

 

paint the grille rainbow. Add a huge aluminum spoiler and then get tons of stickers like,
"illest" and "magnaflow"

 

Thank you for the laugh!

 

Yes!
