Sorry, but I don't think the blacked out grill looks too good... Perhaps the flat black on top of the black paint is clashing?

 

I think it looks great

 

great job, looks fantastic

 

I like the black grill, but I think i would take mine and get it paint matched to my car

 

+1 with meandeane

 

hmm yea i gotta go find that chrome like paint now. guess i have to resand everything and repaint =( but for now, it'll do hehehehe.

 

I have yet to see an aftermarket grille that looks better than the stock one imo.

 

How did you get your grille off without taking the front bumper off??

I second some instructions please

 

I like it,

what kind of paint did you use,

because this may be the ONLY solution for the infamous paint-chip-on-grill issue... unless the '08's were somehow improved upon, which I doubt...

 

That black paint looks spray painted on....does not go to well with the shiny black from factory.....i like the idea of a black grill but that looks weird

 

x2... That flat black looks CHEAP.

Sorry bro, I would have chaulked up and gotten a spare grill...taken it to a paint shop and had it color matched to the body.

 

+1.......did they have a sale over in the Krylon section?

 

You can always do 3 stage painting!!

 

hmmm i was looking online and saw this thing called "hyper black paint". anyone have experience with painting?

my question is.. do i need chrome first in order to make it black chrome? or can i just use my grill right now and use this "hyper black chrome paint" and it'll look chrome?

heres an example of the paint http://www.innate.com/Paint/Chrome/HyperBlack.htm


or i can always just go find a bodypaint shop and get a pro to paint it matching my car =)

 

I'd go the bodyshop route, but you can always try the hyperblack thing out.. did you ever decide on anything? I personally thought the matte grill looked good but metallic would look even better.
