Talking Painted the front bowtie and bottom mesh grill! Pics!

Just got done painting my lower mesh grill. It was a silver color. It wasn't really working looks wise so I painted it black. I also sprayed the bowtie. Why not right? What do you guys think? The grill is tough to to see so I took a close up shot.

The upper front plastic grill will be black mesh identical to the lower mesh in a couple weeks.

it looks far better than silver, but I am still not big on mesh grilles.

Yes a fine tune would be great. Coming to or near CT any time soon?

That is also another good idea. I like that grill too.

It was either keep the upper mesh grill, buy that 2.4 bottom grill and paint both black...or
Mesh both the top and bottom with black mesh. They both look good.

I hear you xspyder85x. It's expensive when it's done right and that's the only way to do it.
I will take a nice paint job over a body kit any day.

Thanks Kyle. Bro you should paint yours the same orange as your car and eyelids.
Leave the chrome ring around it though. It makes the shape of the bowtie stand out.

Yeah, the hood definitely looks hot.

The black mesh grille looks good too. Probably stands out less than the silver mesh itself, but matches better, no doubt.

I plan on doing the same thing next weekend. Your car just keeps pushing the boundaries man. Lookin' good!

I looks great. Are you going to change the top grille? Mesh or billet?
I love the two tone.

Yes the top grill will be the same black mesh so it matches nicely.
I'll post pics when that's done too. Probably in a couple weeks.

You should try to come to McDonalds in Glastonbury on Main St., this Tuesday.
