'09 painted grill pic request

YES! I've looked in the picture forum and did not see what I was looking for yet.

Anybody painted their 09-11 grill leaving the center piece silver with just the outside painted? I have a CBP so prefer to see it in the same color. Seems every pic I found has the whole grill painted and some have painted the center piece or installed the CT carbon piece which is not something I want to do as it just doesn't look good to me. I guess it could be photoshoped but I am not good with that.

I just noticed one of the members here had it done on a 12 but it's different. Wonder if it will look good on a 09-11?

Here's an example of what you're looking for, and the opposite.

What if the surround was painted and only the piece where the "A" was left alone?

One of the picture above has the whole center piece painted, what if you left the top pf that center piece to make it look more like the '12?

Awesome! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

However I must admit that I am not too fond of either way. So for me it will either be painted completely or maybe RJ grille. But the RJ grille is way too expensive though. I'd understand if it cost maybe $400-$500 it could've been acceptable and even that is still on the high side.

Paint the whole thing or leave it, anything else looks even more goofy and out of place
