I say it's a job well-done (if it holds up)

It looks good from the pics you posted, but I'm curious (along with everyone else) on how it looks with a higher-resolution pic and close-ups.

isnt that the same as a local body shop taking the chrome grills the car comes with.. sanding them and spraying them matte black? ive seen it on a friends car.. looked nice.. its kinda like your doing the same.. you just got more balls then us taking a can to your car yourself.. looks good in the pics to me.. GL

worse comes to worse you can order them from gary..
