exactly...I mean, say me for example, I have a black CL...soo the lips/skirts/and grille would look good all black. I cant imagine a RED grille on a red CL though...

I say just painted skirts/lips (grille depending on CL color)

It would be unique, but I think it would make the grille look odd. But, I have said many times with these deals, you are the one who will have to live with it. So, choose wisely.

Did you customize the grille yourself? Looks good. How'd you do it?

just made sure they add a *quality mix* with a "high flex-agent" so the paint will have some flex/give and wont crack as easy.

How much are they chargin u to paint the sideskirts?
