Have you tested the fogs sence you did that? if you didant clear it, i wonder if it will affect the refraction of the light or not
I thought the same way; why all the black and then gray? Gray grilles were such a dumb idea from the factory.

Anyways, the output isn't affected by the black since they're projectors. The only way the projectors would have been effected was if I sprayed them black, but I took the whole housing out when I painted the fog area (very easy)

Yes. I have decided from looking at a few of these cars now that it looks best with the factory Gold bowtie. Black and gold go great together.

I have an extra bowtie from my first TC (long story) that is still factory finish. I'll pop it on there and decide. So many options...

Share your opinions. I won't get too offended

AFTER:






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

Have the bowtie off now. I'm gonna paint the original chrome back piece red and leave the front bowtie black. That'll compliment it pretty well.
