haha same here
i wonder if it would look cool if i did it in a really flat finish...
hmmm. who knows.

I am going to do mine in a flat finish to match my flat black wheels. I am also going to do my upper grill cross member. I just have to paint my bowtie a different color now. Anybody have any ideas?

dont ask me why but this makes me think of batman.
lmao.

i think what would complete the overall look is if you paint the top and bottom grille the same black.

it looks good right now, but i was thinking of doing a carbon fibre hood or a black hood, but i wanted to add yellow to it. maybe a black center piece and yellow on the sides. i gotta photoshop that. i thought the sides would be cool if i made them into an eyelid. i would get it done in vinyl to see if i like it. i need to get more ideas
