Metallic Silver (similar to the IP sedan in the above post). So far I've primed it and put a few base coats on. Still have to paint it with the silver then the clear coat.

Finally got the grill on today (thanks dahkyne - Dexter for the help with removing the stock grill!). I went with Metallic Silver. I plan to paint the middle section behind the grill black so it isn't so noticeable (or dremel it out). Don't have any good pics yet, but here is a quick shot I got of all of our rides before I did a photo shoot of bigc's ride.

Thanks! I'll be sure to post pictures of the finished product

BIGc replicated the bumps on the coupe grill correct? does he have any pointers?

I purchased a stick of putty epoxy I was going to mold it on top of the harrdend bondo and then bondo over for a paintable finish. I'm not sure how good they will match the other bumps though =/
