Should I go back to the stock grill or keep the Taffeta White Painted grill or Taffeta White Painted grill with the painted portion behind the emblem.
Stock Grill

Painted Grill

 

Keep the painted grill (Pic #2). Looks 03CLS.

 

I'm not too fond of the white behind the 'A' emblem but like the painted outer grill.

 

I took the back grill piece out and switched it with my stock piece.

 

PERFECT! that looks awesome. i think thats the best out of the 3 options.

 

I agree, the last pic looks the best.

 

Me 2, been planning to the same for mine this spring.

 

You should leave the chrome part alone and just paint the inner part of the grill (Black meshing). I know its been done many times, but I think our cars look better with the chrome on our grill.

 

naw bro, i like it A-Spec Style! especially if u have a late model 2nd gen. it'll look wikid Mr. Hyde! u gonna paint ur headlight housing as well?

 

Well thats just your opinion...so you naw bro.

 

HAHAHA

 

Here's a pic. of just the inner mesh part painted on Astroboy's car..

 

yeah that does look slick. i think either the inside or the outside looks good. but i think both would be overkill

 

Actually not my '02 TL-S has both pieces painted and it looks much better that way than in chrome. Of course I am not big on chrome on a car, save it for the trucks. Don't know about the part behind the "A" painted white though. Btw the color of mine is Nighthawk Black Pearl.

 

ooooo yeah i like how NBP's can pull off just about anything! u got picz Ramnell?

 

I like #2 over the painted inner mesh

 

I'm with you on this one!! That looks the best out of all. Han, I feel that our ur white and my "dirty white" hehe, (inside joke) :lol2: cars look good with the accent of chrome in the front. I wonder how it would look if we can do Black Chrome, ne one try this? Of course you would have to do the badges and the door handles too.

 

beautiful job, what paint did you use and what was your method?
