What do you guys think? I have a DG coupe BTW. Should I get it painted flat black or semi glossy? or somewhere in between the two? Should I leave the infiniti logo unpainted or have it painted as well?

 

I think it would look good in glossy black with the chrome logo on there.

 

I did it I havent installed it yet. I have DG also. I am going to install it soon and see how it looks.

 

yea do it........search sundeviljay and check out his new grille

looks nice, what kind of black did you use?

 

semi flat

 

iI was thinking about doing the same thing like the Ings G35

I finally got around installing it. Its been sitting in my basement painted for about 4 months. The thread influenced my decision to freeze my a$s off and install it. I must add that I do not like the design of the grill clips. Those rotating clips on the sides really suck. I ruined the ones that were stock on my car and has to use the ones that came with the grill that I painted and when I turned them into the holes they didnt turn back to the angle they are supposed to be. They are just sitting square in the hole if that makes sense and I couldnt get them to rotate to lock in. All the other bottom and top clips are secure so its not going anywhere but im still annoyed by that.

As for the grill I think it really goes well with my theme with black wheels (I have a summer set thats going on very soon. Also my tinted windows, gtr tail lights, and smoked corners. It seems to flow pretty well. My only concern is chipping. I painted it with dupont products. It wasa while ago but I think I started with 3 coats of primer, 2 coats of primer sealer and then 3 coats of semi-flat black paint. I chose not to go with any clear becuase I didnt want it to glossy. If chipping ocurs and it will I may have it professionally painted but Im sure that will chip to. Time will tell how long I will keep it on depending on how well it holds up. Let me know what you think.

 

heres mine. gloss black

 

and here is mine...honestly if you do not get it professionally painted it will chip like crazy...touch up every 2 weeks or so...

 

has your grills chipped over time? If not how were they painted?
