i painted my CW Billet grills black. let me see if i can find some. i will warn you though. get a paint MADE for plastic, and do many many many many light coats. letting each one get tacky before the next. if you spray on too much at once it will wrinkle up and you're fucked. cause they're hard as **** to sand.

I like the billet grille.
I have a black one as well, and think the billet would be a nice offset

Why'd you paint your brake calipers? They looked fine stock.

You obviously didn't see the joke there.

You thought the stock calipers looked like **** in the color they were, so you painted them.

Some people think the stock grill looks like **** because it looks like faded plastic, so they paint them.

People have different tastes.

People get flamed for dumb **** on this forum.
