Hope you guys had a great weekend! I did a little project mod last Saturday. I want to thank Olli for his fantastic DIY posting on the grill removal. So instead of "blacking out" everything, I did something different to complement my wheels. I've attached pictures of the "before and after". Your feedback(good or bad) is greatly appreciated 
For now, until our economy gets better, my next little mod is black-out badge. 
Your thoughts on "blacking out" my current wheels?

looks awesome, i was thinking of doing the same. What colour did you paint your grille? did you use a clear coat, and if you did how many?

Whats the point of the holes in the grill??
"I never realized this before but the hole for Night Vision in the grill is a great place to mount an automatic weapon or small caliper rocket launcher."
