Grill looks HOT ckp! although, my eyes wander to your M45 rims... haha They compliment each other nicely... lol

Im gonna be doing the blacked out grill soon as well and im leaning towards the m45's as well... hehe so its nice seeing it on your car.

The angled shots on the M45's are sick!!!

how was sanding the grill like? thats the part im scared to do... will I ever over sand and start sanding the grill? what grit level did u use?

the car kinda has a... brown shoes black socks feel now.

i like the look. it seems to match the window tint.. at least on the posted indoor pics....

i have a BO. i like my chrome finish (cheapo as it may be) contrasting with the deep black.

how long did it take you to sand down the entire grill?

ckp! I just sanded and painted my grill black!! but my clear coat says I have to wait for 24 hrs before I can use it on a painted item!!

*****!!! so now.. my grill is sitting in my living room drying and I have to wait 24 hrs and then clear coat it.. but so far.. it looks awesome!!! very shiny! and glossy! its only gonna look even more glossier after I clear coat it.

taking the grill off the car was a PITA... the screws were easy but the the pinch clips was annoying to remove with your bare hands.. definately easier if I had a pinch type plier. Took me 40 mins to remove it I think.
