They are only black from a certain angle which in my opinion is pretty damn cool. But hey if you find something that looks decent by all means post pics. As long as your coupe doesnt end up looking like a Ford Explorer with a grill insert.

I think they look better as they are (like a smoked metallic treatment).

I was delighted with the color when my car came in, not knowing it wasn't true chrome when I ordered, plus the headlight housings are the same color. I think it looks awesome.

He means (I think) the two small mesh grills at the bottom, where you'd expect to find foglights on most cars. Mine just look like black plastic on my black G. I'm not sure if chrome would improve them though.

Re: grilles in front bumper

I believe the grid pattern is a molded part of the bumper, I did paint mine simulating the titanium wheels with gray paint, (I have an Ivory Pearl Coupe) and It looks good, I am sure that in silver or chrome it would also look good.

G35arage and KKH713x, I will post pictures as soon as I can , but everyone that has seen the grills like the way they look, try it anyway, if you don't like them re paint them the original black.
I did it with a tini brush and a lot of patience.
I will see about the pictures, as soon as posible.

I don't believe they are a molded part of the bumper. The HID fog light set you can get out of apan replaces them, so they have to be removable.

Re: grilles in front bumper

IMHO this combination of Laser Red w/Sliver grill looks great.
