KRYLON Fusion spray paint - Glossy Black (got it at local Wal-Mart store)

Wow...that looks awesome Eric! Love the grille...definitely more agressive looking, and loving the wheels. Also, may I ask where you got the "bumper plugs". I'm thinking about doing away with the front license plate.Originally Posted by ericson112
I decided to go ahead and paint my own midnight grill instead of buying a factory one and costing me an arm and a leg...only hard part was taking off the grill. Overall i'm happy with the new more aggressive look
Thanks and great job!

Thanks for the quick reply Eric. I just checked out the site. Did you have to do any modification to make sure that the plugs fit such as making them bigger? My front license plate was drilled by the dealer so it is all factory.

That looks pretty legit. I'd say paint the headlight housings black now.

agreed, to do it the right way...you got to strip the chrome first and then paint.
