Sorry but deff not feeling it. Just cuz your fender stripes are of the same color doesn't mean you have to color match ur grille. You'll regret it later on

I like it, I'd paint mine black to match the rest of the stuff on my car if it wasn't black already. Looks somewhat custom since the grilles don't come factory silver. GOOD JOB!

How hard is it to pull out the small grilles on the back at the bottom of the bumper, I looked at them, but they looked like they were riveted in or something.

I painted mine black the day I got the car home. It looks so much better without that gray tinge. IMO I just don't dig the color scheme, but thats just me. It does look well done though. Has anyone color matched the ss/tc grille other than on a black car?

There a reason it doesn't come silver. I don't think I've ever seen a silver grille on any car. Only chrome or black

the thing is , its right at the front of ur car,the paint is going to chip. esp right off plastic.

looks good though and the rear looks hot... but it would look better with no lower grill...

grille looks fine, don't listen to the haters....but the gold bowtie doesn't fit the theme you got going on, colormatch that thing!

This color isn't my kinda thing, however it does look well done. I feel like it might look better in person.

What kinda paint do u guys use to paint your grills? clearcoat?

DiZZ
05-03-2009, 01:31 PM
cha thanks for yall opinion, i have seen a lot of sport red/ victory red w/ black accents so thats what lead me to silver,my main goal was to do something different

Im pretty sure i did a good job on prep, and i used a paint that was specifically for plastics so im hoping it dont chip but we'll see

and yea i know i gotta do somethin with that bowtie its buggin the hell outta me

If you do it right, paint will stick better to plastic. Ie: Fusion

my mom does custom vinyl work so i just took it to her shop and told her what i wanted, any place that does vinyl should be able to do it, unless you want to go the more expensive way and have it painted

Really? I need to grow up? Why because I was pointing out the obvious hypocricy of a comment regarding not color matching or doing unique things from one of the most color matched and intentionally unique cars on the site??? Its not my problem that you have issues with other guys doing paint and tape mods like this, YOU are the one who needs to grow up and stop getting butt-hurt anytime someone else comes up with a paint/tape mod that may in someway make your car appear less special or make it seem possible that you dont have the market cornered on unique appearance mods, This isnt the first time youve poopoo'd somebody elses well executed or tasteful mod, just because it was either A: a variation of something you had done or wanted to do or B: was something you hadnt done and other people may like.

I dont want this to come across as trolling because I am not, I dont give a shit what you do to your car, I dont think Ive ever commented on it, but your constant passive aggressive comment to other members about the quality or style of their mods annoys the shit out of me. Yes he asked for opinions, but you know what? Its his car and in the end theres something to be said for keeping your mouth shut if you have nothing nice to say.:cssNET:

hailcesar75

ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!

It's an opinion like you've said in the past. I ain't hating cuz he painted his grille. So many members do things to their cars and ask for opinions and so many members do give negative opinions. Even I've asked for opinions on my car and I've gotten harsh negative opinions. But I didn't get butt hurt about it.

Btw I don't understand how passive aggressive my opinion was. For some reason you got this hatred towards me and I don't know why. Leave me the fuck alone and mind your bizz. I'm sure op doesn't want your trolling on his thread. Damn dude I can feel you up my ass already!!! Sheesh!!

Op doesn't give a shit about what I say. So why should you

ajm5036
05-04-2009, 09:38 AM
Wow is this getting personal?

As far as I'm concerned an opinion is an opinion. I personally like the color match (but I agree that the bow ties should match). As for this random off topic quarrel. Honestly who cares. Stylizing a car will always be a feel good way to upgrade the look. But as far as I'm concerned there is only so much you can do look wise before you realize you have made a really slow car look really fast. No offense, but for every appearance upgrade there should be some performance to back it up. Otherwise all you have is a tricycle with spinners.

Just another opinion. ;)

But I am defiantly a fan of the fender stripes. :twothumbs

I think they are just uber huge and uber not faithful enought to a proper Gran Sport stripe and that makes em look a little off.....Corvette GS stripes dont go all the way to the edge of fender, they stop at the wheel arch line, making them go all the way makes em look "heavy"

Careful what you say. Apperently negative opinions are not allowed
No, negative opinions are, its hypocritical statements that should be kept to a minimum

Youre putting far more importance on yourself because of this than is necessary, you think I am out to get you or something, thats not the case, I had an issue with one thing you said, or more importantly the way you said it. I am not after you......I am not saving the OP from you or anyone. I just found incredibly strange that a guy with as much color matching going on as you do would have the balls to make a comment like theres no need to color match your stripes and grilles and that youll regret it. Kinda like if I were to say something like "youre wasting your time building the suspension on an LS" or if Area47 said "tuning your LSJ is a waste of time, youll regret it" You and half the people here would be all over my or his ass for something like that, yet here you are making similar comments to this guy and your the one who has a problem with me. You could say his grilles look like shit warmed over and i wouldnt care, its not the negativity, its the hypocricy of your comments that drew the remarks from me.
