Looks good... nice and clean... I have the same grill.

My opinion, if you can remove the center bar or paint it black, it would look much nicer. Even if you placed some vinyl tape over it... sorry, it's probably just me, but my eyes go directly at the middle white bar.

Again, just my thoughts, if you like it.. it's all you.

Everything looks good, except paint the supporting bar flat black.

I love the Gialla grill, but you've got to paint the egg-tooth flat-black. Mine is satin-black, like all other black-painted items/trim, but even satin reflects a bit too much light under some conditions.

You might consider painting your radiator as well. It shows up even at night otherwise. Painting it will turn the grill openening into a nice, black void. Really nice on an IP.

While you're at it, you might as well hit the mesh with satin-black for more protection, if you didn't already paint them. The primer that comes on it is very thin.

Like everyone else said, you have to paint the support bar flat black. I wouldn't recommend taking it off, because the support is needed. Just paint it!

When I had it removed at the paint shop, they used a dremel type tool to take it off at the connecting points. I'm sure there are other tools or you could just paint it black.



I took mine off and it's been fine for 6 months now, no problems at all...



Good luck!

How do you guys paint the radiator behind the grill? Do you remove the radiator, or just tape everything up real good and hit it with some spray paint while it's still in the engine bay? Any problems w/ the functioning of the radiator after it has a coat of spray paint on it?

Looks great but as mentioned above, paint the support bar to give it an even cleaner look. This grill is on my list. Good stuff

I think I got mine from BulletProof... ....about 1.5 years ago. It might have been everythingg35? I do remember that it was special order and arrived from Japan a couple of months after ordering it. I forget what price it was listed at, but I paid full list price at the time.
