    I snapped a few more shots... if you can't tell, the center section of the grill is painted black. Another option is to paint the whole grill black.

    What do you think?







    I have a feeling the whole grill is going black tonight. I like how the paint ties in to the black steelies and the tint.

      I like it. Body color headlight bezels and a black grille also look nice though. Just a thought.

          I'd go body color. It looks more natural that way.

            I went black. If it's ugly, I'll go pick up another grill at the pull apart.

              I think the painted black inner section of the grille looks nice. I would just paint the insides on the benzels black like blaze did and leave the rest chrome. Looks good though.

                I like the black, but what I would've done is paint the top, solid section of the grille body color, and the rest black. Just my $0.02

                  Here are the pictures. I REALLY like the result. I'll get better shots tomorrow, when there's actual daylight.

                      Looks pretty good, but what I considered doing if I decided to paint my car any color other than black is paint the outside of the grille and bezels body color and the insides of both satin black. I think it would look really nice personally.

                        I tried the chrome with grill interior black and it just wasn't cutting it for me.
                        Bottom line, I hate chrome.

                          I hate chrome too, that's why I said do body color.

                            I don't think that would look good. I couldn't find my color at the store, anyway.

                            I really like how this turned out and I'll most likely never go back.

                              Well, as long as you'll like it. It does look good.
