Thinking of painting my front grills silver??
Have an 03 black coupe...thinking of painting the main grille and then the lower 2 wire grilles silver...think that would look good?

has anyone done this ive only seen people doing black.

Sounds kinda tacky personally. They sell chrome grill kits that go into the 2 lower grills. Doesnt look good at all.

If you're talking about the OEM grill and not some after market billet or mesh grills, I cant find ones on an OB but there's a couple...

if this didn't have the two lower grills,


this one on a sedan looks good,

^ those two "lower" grilles are intercoolers, more than likely a twin turbo setup under the hood on that car

Since you have an OB coupe go black or Gialla if you need to mod the grille.
