The grill looks awesome. I've been debating doing this on my CB coupe for awhile now. I think i'll do it next week when I get a chance.

Thanks for the pics!

I hear you there. Keep up the good work man, and I wanted to know if you are thinking about changing out the corners with clear or black ones?

its really easy, just take your take with it though if your not used to painting, i mean you can always do it over but makes you feel better if you do it right the first time

easiest way is to get some wood or something and practice spraying it evenly before you tackle the grill w/o experience

the tint is 25% i'm pretty sure, just the right darkness i think, perfect in the day time and not too dark at night so that i can actually see somewhat from my sides haha
