I just got two more JDM Nissan Skyline 350GT front emblems in black chrome (pearl) from the shop. These would look bad @$$ on a black grille. $75 pick-up or $80 shipped.

So any further pics from people who have ventured out to paint their grill? I asked a fellow who did custom work on trucks about painting the grill. He told me that he had to stop doing that because he would have so many people getting upset because their grills would chip so badly. I really want to do this, but his comments concern me. Anybody whose had it on a while have an update? Also, post up more pics of different colors when you've done them!

I just got a grille from Sundeviljay and I love it! Its black, no emblem. I have an IP coupe. Gonna post some pics tomorrow. Let me tell you, the quality of work on is is AWESOME, and the paint looks great, not cheezy like spraypaint.

Pics still on their way, one thing bothers me a little bit though. The grille is gloss black, and the lower grille vents are flat black (oem plastic). I cant help to wonder how a flat/satin black would look on the grille to match the rest.

OR

Im considering painting the lower grilles with gloss to match...

Anyone have pics of flat black grille?

Looks good, but I would have left the infiniti emblem for more contrast, unless you get black rims or something for a more black theme.
