Too much chrome. Maybe if you have chrome just on the front of the grille it would look better. A few more lines will do as well.

A big "L'" will dramatically improve it too.

Maybe a close-up may change my mind but from the pic, not feeling it.

Wow, that's JDM Netz Sport grill, guys!

What you saw was not chrome but aluminium sills that are added onto a fg backing. Like the very high JDM quality items, this grill is very popular in Japan. And I don't think I'd paint it black coz that would really take away the uniqueness of this grill. Awesome!

Hi Kid, yes we should meet up when you are back in Hong Kong. I can show you where to get the parts


By the way, this grille will be only mine for a few more weeks. I sold it to a good friend of mine, since I will get an even nicer grille soon (in my opinion, not my friend's opinion).
