Black Grill

I have seen several posts where people have painted their grill black and I want to do the same but I also want to keep my original just in case I mess one up or for when I sell the car. Anybody know where I can pick one up. Already painted would be even sweeter.

Hmmm, I just changed out my grill not too long ago and I'm still trying to decide whether or not to keep the OEM grill. If I decide I dont need/want it I'll give you a heads up.

Man you should keep that on! I really looks great. Post up a pic so everyone else can get a look at it.

wait maybe I read it wrong. Yeah ditch the OE stuff.

The only thing I would keep from the factory is the side markers if you change them out.

Who me? I'm not getting rid of my "new" grill mang! I'm offering up my old OEM one if I decide I won't ever go back to it.

ebay is your best shot, sometimes members here sell their grilles so search around. As far as painting goes, get it done at a shop so it looks professional (dont honda rig it) plus it wont chip as easily with auto paint.

Here is mine in case you cant decide, i have a custom oem style grille without the emblem, imo it looks cleaner. Its in gloss black.

Yeah I removed them because I found a nice deal on some Tein Coilovers. Hehe, but I slammed it too much so I raised it up 1/8 - 1/4 inch.
