finished painting the surround and letting it dry now. as soon as it's dry enough I'll put everything together, slap it on the car and take pics

JP grill painted and installed, rattle-can job as usual. For the cinnabar pearl owners, color is Mazda copper red mica. Bought from Pepboys and is a pretty good color match.

Well that scratches that idea, The painted frame tones the jp grill down, not that that's a bad thing or it doesn't look good, it just doesn't jump out at you anymore....lol i guess my frame remains chrome...Or maybe be chrome slates with the colored frame will get it to pop. You should get your slates re-polished.

Great work bro and thanks for the visuals


Tye's grill:


In person the grill really jumps out.....

I agree that the chrome does need to be re-polished. I wanted to have it on the car right away that's why I didn't. I'll give it more tlc later. I will also do some modding on the other grill to give it a better look. Stay tuned people!
