I was going to do this to my OEM grill before i found this for sale. you just separate the surround from the inner grill, paint the surround, buy mesh and paint it. Glue the mesh to the grill surround, and install. Then add your choice of emblem...

Which F emblem are you using on the front grill? Is it the F from the trunk lid or one of the side fender F's? I just noticed yesterday when I was looking at my emblems that the rear F is a little larger than the F's on the side fenders.

The silver F was the left fender one, the black pearl F that's on there is right fender. The trunk one seems to have more of a curve to it I don't think it would work as well.

Sorry for the Blackberry quality pictures, didn't have my camera at the time some of these were taken.
Coming soon: roof spoiler with "something" you may not have seen before if my little plan works out. Full blacked out door trim, BP emblems all around, smoked LED tails...then we will see what's next.
I want to black out the inside of my headlights but I don't know how or who can do that. Any suggestions?

Decided to pull my grill off and paint the silver area behind it matte black so that it all matches since you can see through it at certain angles, it looks so much better now. I liked it before but now I love it. Also swapped all the F emblems with black pearl including the front grill and installed 5000k HID fog lights.

The Oldsmobile F88 from the Gateway, CO Auto Museum. It sold for 3.3 MILLION at the Barrett Jackson auction. I was at the museum a couple weeks ago.
