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

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

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?

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
