Painted Grille Experts

I just installed my painted grille from Heeltoe Automotive. Beautiful! They are easy to deal with and fast. http://www.heeltoeauto.com/

I also have one sitting on my garage floor that has chips all over it, I also have one done from Nexson for half the price of heeltoe, plus the rear trim and it is a top notch job. I think heeltoe even followed his tutorial to paint theirs.

O...k, bickering aside, I like the way it looks. I'd certainly have my grille painted to match if I had a darker color car.

I'm not really sure if it would make much of a difference in harnessing the beak on a Palladium Metallic car.

At any rate, congrats!

Looks great!

Brock doesn't like it when others spend money on mods and are not home owners.

Nexson never responded to any of my messages. He also paints your grille, this is a new one painted so I still have the old to put back stock if I want for resale. Also, try clear bra on it to reduce chips.

I'm surprised how much of a big deal people make of the $600+ cost. The car was $40,000, wheels are thousands, even a good set of tires are $1,200. Guess it's what matters to you.

I would say; go cheap and it's much more expensive.

Now your just butt hurt and can't separate a 200-600 dollar grille from a set of 5600 dollar wheels with no tires. Try to keep the threads separated and not join a bunch of threads together. This has nothing to do with owning a home as 300 won't make a big difference when buying a home, but paying for a quality job from Nexson at half the cost is a wise investment, saving you another three hundred for something else. Did I also mention the rear can be painted as well and you would still save money over heeltoe. But your right it's your money spend it how you seem fit, this is also why you owe money on your car as well.

I wasn't making a big deal out of the cost of the grille, I was just letting the OP know there was an option just as Good at half the cost. Sometimes you just need to do a little research and some time and you will save a few bucks. What scotty2hotty(got his lame ass SN from a wrestler) was referring to was a member asking if he was bugging because he was thinking of spending 5600 on wheels alone, I said I would buy a lesser priced set of wheels, because 5600 is a lot of money for wheels, when it could go towards a house or some other investment. Scotty was to ignorant to realize what my comment meant and several members had to explain to that retard exactly what I meant. By the way if you did pay 40k for your car, are you really gonna but wheels that are 12-15% of what your car is worth? Just my opinion.

Bottom line is your grill looks great, really comes together with the tint and wheels.

I like it. I might get one too, in white. Do you send them your own grill or they have parts in stock?
