I went with glossy black. As for "better left alone" comments are concerned. I like the way it turned out, the grille had a lot of chips in it and needed to be painted either way. I don't mind having minor chrome trim on my cars. However, I don't want it all over the place.
I was just bored and did it for fun
most likely I'm going to change the grill anyways -_-
but honestly it doesn't look bad at all.
We all have our own style's & taste in what we like..
That's the reason there's not two cars that look alike in every detail
Unless you have no style or taste which makes you copy
is good in black also if done right, IMHO lexusgsf yours ISNT done right, that flat black looks awful on that white, had you made it a glossy black it might look better. again just my $0.02

Like I said I was bored & did it very fast & didn't feel like waiting for the clear coat to dry
& thanks for your $0.02
I might just re-do it glossy next week
hopefully it does look better

Yea, I feel you on that one...
me personally I haven't seen an aftermarket grill I liked
I'm thinking of drawing up a design & seeing if my guy can make it.

I did my grill & emblem Flat Back awhile ago
Now thinking of painting the chrome trim that goes around the car flat back & the trim around the windows
but will see
You should do a flat/matte black and gloss combo. All flat makes it look like it is just primered.
