Maybe it won't, but I was playing with a plate and it looked cooler at an angle. Plus, think of the improvement in aerodynamics! LOL.

It is my company car and I trade it in within 2 years. Don't want to make too drastic of a change to it or put much cash into the car...

Tomorrow when I get home maybe I'll send you some photos of my car, I'm really into de-chroming cars. |
Years ago when I had to buy my own cars, I also blacked out the chrome on them all the time. Volvo sold a satin black spray paint that worked amazingly well and was extremely durable. Not sure if they still sell it.

I probably only know how to use 10% if that of Photoshop. To darken the grill I only used the quick selection tool and the dodge tool. About a 2 minute job. (This was actually a bit sloppy job.) I'd probably just look a tutorials online to learn the various more common tools, etc.
That is not a real plate. It was a quick Photoshop cut and paste from the create a plate site to see what a front plate would look like on it. I don't like that frame either.

It is running about 3 to 1 in favor of black... Looks like I'll be pulling the grill out one of these weekends to macho-rize my car.
