choi000,
You've got my black grill, and how it looks on your car now. Some pics please . I just received yours and it looks so fantastic compared to driving a car with a pig nose
Love it. Thanks, choi000. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

I just installed the grille the other day. I painted the chrome frame black and then put the grille on. I think it looks good and goes well with my car since my car is jet black. I'll post pics too!

I guess if the black cars can have black grill, other colors can match too!
If you like it, then leave it.

The chrome grilles look so nice that I just got myself a pair today. One quick question about installing them, when you remove the protective plastic above the grilles, do you need to unscrew anything, or is it just a snap out? Thanks a lot for your help!
