You guys ever thought of color matching the chrome parts? I think that it looks good, thoughts?



Sorry Mike, I had to use your pic. Hope you dont mind?

that's what i thought too, the grille black looks cool, the headlight trim maybe body color matching is better?

Its all good. I personally don't care for color matched parts like that. Its cheap looking IMO. I had that as an option and also could have painted the emblems to match the color of the car but I told them no to that.

I wish we didnt have that piece around the lights but now I am much happier with how it looks. The pictures really dont do justice for how it looks in person. When I picked it up we saw a few things we can do now that this is done so I know what the next thing will be to get done. Will give me something to do next year to the car.

One thing I am glad is that I painted the whole grill area and not just the trim and the grill....notice there is NO red between. Makes it flow much better

I am more then happy with this.

I wish people could see this in person. From a distance the stance and body lines that flow with the center grill is amazing. Its the way the car should look. Really IMO gave the car a whole new appearance in person. The trim around the lights you dont see too much from a distance. You really have to be close to really see what they are and whats going on. Many probably wont like it but I am glad I took the change with this and didnt get an overpriced center grill. Im starting to really like how this car looks
