Black grill 2k2-2k3

I read someone on the forum painted their grill black .

Forgot the thread tho, if you have painted your stock black grill post up some pics and let me know what you did. I think it would look good, especialy on my color car.

Looks good. Did you take it to a shop or DIY? If you DIY what kind of paint did you use?

You 02/03 owners are lucky you can remove your grilles.

Crispykid,

Did you mount your lip or did the body shop? What did they use to secure the lip to the bumper? thx
