if you take your time it really isn't all that bad and its deffinitely a feeling of self accomplishment once its done. looks good though man... not sure i'm feeling the black wing piece on a SSM though

Did you only paint the chrome parts or the part that was a dark gray around the entire grill as well?

horsepowercrzy18

i just painted the middle that was chrome. i want to make a black mesh grill

If only I had the balls to clear out my headlights...

Looks pretty damn good. Any tips, paint info or a thread you followed to paint your grill?

the grill was easy. lift up the hood and theres i think 6 10mm bolts to take out. then the whole assembly comes out. then flip the grill over and theres i think 8 small screws to take out to get the wing part off. then sand down and use dull black spray paint. when i did the headlights i used high temp gloss black spray paint which is good up to 500 degrees. the high temp paint is called engine enamal but you can use for headlights. i got it at autozone. i took my car through the carwash today and no leaks in the headlights!

Cool, I might do the grill since that isn't a $380 mistake if I screw up, I've taken it appart many times, so luckily that part is easy. What grit of sandpaper did you use?

Oh yeah, you should change your avatar to show the new changes.
