Default Black L-Tuned Grill on a Cinnabar Pearl GS?

Hey Guys,

LIke the title states, do you think it will look good or would it be completely out of place? I purchasd the kit off of ebay for a really good deal but it was in black not cinnabar pearl.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks
Fernando

It might look ok. I would try to post in the PS forum and see if someone can do a PS on it for you. If you have a lot of chrome on the car it may not look right though

Thanks for the reply,

I got the same kit off ebay last week in crystal white... I need to get it painted DWP. We got a heck of a deal.. I installed the grille on the pearl. Looks ok but I;m still going to paint it... The best thing is that we can install this ourselves... TOny

I think you should let me take that grill off your hands.

Well, it all depends. Can you get either a l-sportline or TTE grill?

I would consider a trade,

I don't...it kind of looks like those cars with a primed panel before getting it painted.

I've seen one before and it looked ok. But it was a TRD style grill (no center bar).

Thanks for all the help guys. I think I'm going to just paint my grill body color and call it a day.

Thanks again,
Fernando
