All of your painted grills look awesome. It's definitely a real nice touch.

hey guys. I looked at the website of Ings+1. Their IP coupe seems to have a grill that's painted in black. I am not sure if it's because of the light effect but.. sure it looks nice.

for more details go here: www.ings-net.com

CASkyline hooked it up

Yesterday I met up with SundevilJay and CASkyline.. CASkyline installed the black grill for me.. i'm really liking it. The black painted grill looks like OEM type quality. Like Jay say's if anyone needs some work done to the G, CASkyline can hook it up quick and for a VERY good price. Only took him 5 mins to swap out my grill and he has hella other nice little upgrades that he can do for you. Oh, and your Vortec G.. whew, just beautiful.. and Jay, I love the stoptechs. I'll definately be going to him in the future for more mods.

I went with flat black to match the black trim on the car. I bought a used OEM grill on ebay and had the shop paint it. I paid $40 to get it painted
