Paint billet grille black? So i joined another forum and introduced myself with some pics of my car and got alot of critisism for the grille.....they say if i'm going to keep it at least paint it black. Do you guys think it looks that bad? Heres a pic of it

If you paint it black then get smoked corners and whistler your headlights to make it all flow. A guy I know painted his billet grill black and about a month later it started flaking and looked like 100% ***. I would leave it personally I think it looks awesome.

Yeah i do have the whistler mod, that was just a pic from along time ago that i didnt have that damn license plate on the outside...thats the only reason i used that pic. I would agree smoked clears would look badass
I just realized how good that the before/after is. Look at that pic then look at my sig.

I like the black alot better because I dont have to polish it. Chrome looks good but black looks just as good if not better on some colors and is easy to maintain. Its your ride bro do as you wish. You have a sharp looking car cant go wrong with either color

I painted mine about 2 months ago with rattle can and clear. It is still holding up and it's no big deal if I have to remove 4 screws and pull it back off to paint it...
BTW it isn't real shiny and IMO brought the black theme on my car together much better. Ive debated painting my Hooker tips black but just don't know about that concept yet...lol.
