So I thought I'd get your opinions. I want to paint my grill this week. But I'm not sure which way to go. I have the Smokey Granite, and eventually want to go with some dark wheels, and I have dark tint. I'm not sure if it would look better to paint the grill the same color as the car, or if I should match the dark metalic color on the inside of the grill. Either way, I will leave the Lexus emblem chrome for now. So what do you guys think?!

Well there are a couple people with the paint match on the Smokey Granite, but I have not seen the dark metalic on this color. So a photoshop would be cool.

Not sure if I am going to do it now with the rims I have it looks okay. If I was going for the blk out look then I would have it done. May change my mind and have that done and the emblems taken off and holes plug????
I think I want to maybe try one last mod on my car
haha...that is if another member wants to work with me on $$$

I painted mine this past week, I'll post pics soon. I have an SGM and I tried to make the grill black pearl using the Duplicolor Metalcast. I put on too many coats, now it looks almost like a titanium color....very similar to the color of the grill insert. I think it looks really good, much better than the chrome. I also did my rear emblems...it looks way better now... pics coming soon.

OK, one thing that sucks... I have only had it on with the painted frame for one week. I already have a few rock chips. Soooo, for anyone doing this, you might want to make sure you put a clear bra material over the grill.
