Looks good. I would say paint behind the grill now and the front will be set.

Nice work, I'd paint behind your grille black though.

Yeah, people always tell me that, but I like the way it looks with the color sticking out behind the grille. Besides...it's SOM and painting over that would be blasphemous!

I didn't use a write-up, but there is a good one if you look at the stickies on the main page of Appearance & Detailing here on tech. Click on "appearance mod hall of fame" or something like that.

I like it with the original color behind the grille also. Everybody paints their's black, but I like it better without the black paint.

I like it all besides the bow tie. Paint behind your grill and it would look killer!
