Looks hawt to me, go for it.. Why dont you just remove the hood trim and get it painted at the same time??

You bring up a good point. by getting that painted I'm almost positive that the paint shop will charge me more for having the hood trim painted as well. I figuered just buy the damn thing, which is about $50 bucks. And then later if I sell the car or get tired of this look, I'll just have to look for the OEM grill and put that one on. I'll be in the look out in the blackmarket section see if anyone is selling their OEM grill in the near future.

I debated on doing this, but since I'm a freeway commuter, I'm worried that I'm going to get a bunch of chips. Even the bodyshop guys told me it would probably chip when I got a quote. Definitely let us know how yours holds up

no, my car was in the shop since i got into an accident so i just had them paint it
yeah, they said they couldn't guarantee the paint but i said i didn't care
i'm not sure how much it would have cost
i commute a lot too, hope it holds up

I did this with mine. Sand the chrome off before you take it to the body shop. It will take a couple hours, but you'll save some money and the paint will hold up longer:
by the way, Mugen front lip is in transit
