    Default Painted my car grill

    I ordered my new LI's on Wednesday and decided today that I'd get my grill on my car ready. I'm not worried about the chrome on the outside or around the car logo but mainly what annoyed me the most was the vertical stripes of chrome on the grill bars and how the jammer heads would be very obvious once I cut the grill and get them in.

    Went and got some 220 grit sand paper, primer and some decent looking black spray paint that wasn't glossy and got to work and here is the end result. Everyone I've asked so far says it looks a lot better than the original grill.

    Looks good! The black LI heads will blend in quite well.

    That car just seems so popular to paint the front end... some with paint some with G4.

    Looks good though.

    Looks good, I need to get my grille repainted too.. the last guy who made it black didnt do a good job and now the paint is starting to come off.

    Looks great. You probably don't need too with the LI but you did a great job.
