Evo AND Fog thread

It hasn't been done much (I think only hailcaesar has done it, but only with electrical tape), but what do you guys think about the Evo grille AND the fogs. I painted these today and I like the way it looks (it still has to grow on me though, I'm just not used to seeing them black).

Share your opinions. I won't get too offended

BEFORE:


AFTER:






Mind you, I'm lowering and painting the wheels (gun metal gray) as well.

Thanks guys, I roughed down the original paint on the fog area and painted it with high temperature enamel paint. Same premise as I did with the front and rear grilles as well. I taped off the immediate area around the fogs with painters tape to give me an outline.

I'm ****-retentive so I measured the distance from the "Evo" grill for angles, etc. Everything was spot on. Sprayed, let dry, sprayed again, let dry and then put back in fog lights.

The more I look at it in person, the more I like it.

thats more of a concept eclipse grill.

the evo would be from your top grill down. looks good nonetheless.

I have to redo mine someday. It started to ship away alot and isn't very straight (I can't ever get these damn things straight haha) I might do that, inspired by you of course...dunno, I think I would have to see it in person before I decide if I like that or not.

Yeah, the more I'm thinking about it, black would go better overall. Paint rims, springs and remove rear spoiler are next on the "to do" list.
