Body painted grilles

Went this route first over black. I think it looks a lot better and fluid than all black and definitely better than that chrome. Before and afters. Thanks Amused for the inspiration..LOL..

Bought them from Ind-Distribution..LOL... Order the black ones and you have the option to order in your body color. A lot less work and hassle.

Actually was going to, but I am 99% sure I am going to swap for the M sport front so that would be 70 bucks wasted. I have the rears already swapped since I would not go M on the rear. Actually like the regular rear than the M.

Thanks all. The more I look, the more I like. Definitely makes the front end look more connected. Not something anyone will notice right away. Its a more subtle change that makes one think "what is different?"
