Default Pics of my lastest Mod...

Thanks to kingralphthe3rd for the grille. It shall be enjoyed.










Now the question I ask to my fellow V owners. Should I make the chrome hood molding black as well? I am leaning with leaving it chrome, since it adds a little "pop", and ties in with the Accessory Wheel (IMO).

I have 2 hood moldings, so I will be making one black. Then take pictures of of the V both way.

Looks great, leave it alone with a little chrome to accent the wheels.

i will be blacking out the my second hood lip pretty soon. then i will see which one i like better.

A-Bomb, that is my next project. with the grill like that, makes the ambers even uglier.

keep the chrome on the front, IMO it breaks it all up, and makes the black grille and everything stand out better, kinda draws your eyes to it, if it was black as well, than it'd be too much IMO

I say black it out, the chrome stands out a bit too much for my taste when everything else around it is black.

Yeah, I too think it looks kind of weird and very non-OEMish (that's a word, trust me) with the random chrome strip there. Black it out.

the more I look at it the more I think you should black it out.
