I just took my grill off today since it has red over spray all over it, i'm tempted to paint it in some creative way.

I would personally just repaint the grill the color it was from the factory....black. Mind you the whole thing is not painted black but just the center bar and everything else in the middle. Leave the outer trim chrome. Looks really good on a DWP SC and even better if the rest of your badges are black as well. Pic for reference....

i know it's pretty much black, but stock they are actually like a gunmetal color aren't they? that's how all my SC's looked anyways..

like alot of people don't notice the big door trim is a really dark metallic gray and not black like most people repaint them.

I'm probably going to paint my chrome part black, seeing as i've blacked out the chrome window trim. Maybe paint the center red to match my car, or is that too much?

I painted mine all black, it looks great complementing the rest of the black on my ride.

PRS: I want that lip, is it pre 97 cut and customized?

Your right paco....from the factory it is a gunmetal color but it flakes so easily that you might as well paint it black.
