The bumper doesnt look too bad with it painted, but im not really feeling the grill, the black part makes it look like there isnt really anything beside the silver trim, and it accentuates the silver trim...but since that is gone....kinda looks dirty...like someone got paint happy...just my opinion, seriously no offense...btw as long it floats your boat right?

That's something similar to what I thought about doing. Instead of painting the whole thing, I would have left those emblem backing and the stuff behind the grill black. I would've painted just the mesh part.

But overall, it looks good.

I would've left the emblem backing black...and the black grill turned silver makes it look kinda odd to me. Just my opinion

I wasn't sure at first, but after looking at if for a minute or 2, I'm kind of digging it. At least it's different without looking crappy. That's been my goal but haven't found what I want to do yet.

It was definitely done with car. It looks like they did a great job painting it.

Do you ave any pictures of it from further away. It's hard to get a real good feel of it from so close up.

Yea, i've gotten the same feeling now, after looking at it for a few minutes, it starts looking better. If you could post pics taken at a greater distance that would be great.

Mine cost me less than $10 and it's been about 6 months since I painted it.
