AM color matched grill
i spent part of my saturday painting my front grill to match with the rest of the car and i'm pretty satisfied with the outcome. just thought i share some pics

while i was at i even did the rear trim piece on the trunk as well and blacked out the "A" emblem.

R.thol, I'm in Lenexa-we need to get together and bring a camera!
I would've left the "A" chrome for contrast though. Still looks great though.

thanks for the comments everyone! now i just need to mod those headlights!
alright, but idk if u wana take any snaps shots of my stock tl, havent done much mods yet lol
i just sanded down the trim pieces and sprayed 2 coats of adhesion promoter, then 2 coats of primer, and 3 coats of a 12 oz aerosol spray can that i bought online, i just gave them my paint code (about $20 a can) then i did 3 coats of clear.
i'm waiting for the paint to settle for a lil bit before i begin to wet sand and buff it to bring out a better shine and there's a few spots i need to touch up on. it was roughly a $50 project
