I really think that looks BAD A$$. Very Clean. What kind of paint did you use?

First off, actually looks better then what i expected, good job.

However, why paint it? you have silver/chrome headlights, paint, and wheels....

I think would look great on a all black car IMO.

But props on paint job. i say leave the emblem chromed.

I like it better stock, but it doesn't look bad either. I'd paint the symbol to match.

I think either leave it chrome like it is... or have the emblem removed and have it shaped so it's all one smooth black grille

i bought some high gloss spray paint from home depot with some clear coat as well. i sanded the grill so the paint would hold better. i put it on sparingly not overspraying the grill. letting dry and doing 3 small coats.
i liked it stock but i wanted something different than everyone else. the silver did match the car well but again common and i liked it better than the gialla grill i had on it.

Nice job! It looks great. Did you prep and paint it yourself or did you have it sent out? In either case, what was the type of paint used?

First off it looks great. I'd say get some overlays to add some contrast over the headlights and give it a "meaner" look to match with that grill. well done.
