Nice I like it!
I have an 03 Black sedan and I'm considering to buy an aftermarket front bumper (similar to yours) just havent find anything yet. Also, considering to paint the grill and just leave the logo chrome but since i spend lots of time on the expressway i think the paid will chip off pretty quick

WillJV, dont let the expressway keep you from having a cool grill. The paint wont chip done right, well, no more than the bumper does. The first couple of steps are the most important. Assuming you want "rattle can it." Its best to go to an automotive paint supply and buy materials. Tell them what your doing and let them make suggestions. Dont get $1.98 cans from Home Depot, you get what you pay for. Good quality stuff will run about $40-50 bucks. To do it right remove grill from car, remove emblem from grill. With good quality 400 grit sandpaper or >RED< nylon scuff pad lightly scuff as much as possible. Dont use too much force. Be sure to get every crack, corner, and crevice scuffed. The relective finish on the grill will fade away quickly giving you a raw plastic finish. Next using some >GREY< nylon scuff pads go over the entire grill again, this will give you a very smooth feel. Wash with warm/hot soap and water after it has dried completly use an automotive wax/grease cleaner or paint prep and clean thoroghly. Now spray 2-3 coats of good quality primer as directed. If painting grill black its best to use a black primer. Look for any imperfections, if you have any back-up a few steps and fix them and repeat. Spray 3-4 light coats of good quality paint as directed. Put 3-4 light coats of clear let dry, install, enjoy.
