Still I wish the price was a little bit lower then it was... The front lip kit was even cheaper. Which is on my wish list now..

Looks good! Wish I had the 09-10 bumper. I don't think I can do this mod or the front lip mod.

Looks good and good job on the paint!!! something is off with the silver though it made it look to "plasticky" if that makes any sense..

I can kinda see where hes comming from.
I think it looks ok tho. Only other thing i would want to see is
a gloss black, or paintmatched.

I would rock out with it like that for a while tho. that grille is growing on me

It looks alrite IMO.
If it was me, i'd chrome that middle bar. The PWP is one of the only colours that actually works with the chrome, so it'll probably look sex...

So its a huge improvement from stock, but everyone is right, something is off with the color

props to you for painting it, but yeah its off for some reason

I think one of the raisins it might look plasticy is not enough metallic flakes, or possibly not enough clear coat?

I think you should consider experimenting with different colors, because the grill is def nice, and it can certainly give more to your car than it is now.

@the chrome idea, its a good idea, and im very curious to see how the middle would look chromed hoping it looks good, but also, it could go horribly wrong and you could end up with a chrome mustached car

my vote is black trim, paint matched bar! I think you will be able to pull off a nice look when you get the color right.. Or you could send it off and get it carbon fiber dipped. That would look legit!

Yo, so I played with it in photoshop, and the black grille looked really nice

The chrome I cant replicate in photoshop, its too advanced a technique for me, but black looked nice and clear corners would set it off for sure

Go grab a can of plastidip from home demo and itll take you like 20 minutes

For a nice OEM+ look, go chrome middle bar and silver outer frame. The scheme that's on the stock shield grille, since the colours work for PWP. adding black or carbon fiber or something might contrast too much without other accents to accompany it, but that's just my 2 cents

Looks great! Does the color match up pretty well with the rest of the car? kind of hard to tell in the picture.

Also looks like you have a little bit of character on the front bumper . I got a little bit myself like a month ago on my front bumper too.
