Default New grille

I finally installed a grille that I modified. It was completely black, but I decided to paint the inside white to match the exterior. Comments?New grille-img_0223.jpg

To me it's not so much how the white fins look but how they accentuate the black trim. The black part appears to have too much "eyeliner."

Sorry but, not feeling it.

Going to have to agree with the others, just isn't doing it for me. But, with that said, it is YOUR car and if you like it, that's all that matters! But, if you go ahead and do something completely ridiculous like putting a big wing on the back, I will proceed to find you and slap you silly!

The white fins keep the car cooler by 5%, compared to the black fins. That's scientifically, speaking. ;-)

You need to paint the kidneys white as well. I think all white will look better. IMHO.

Looks like something Pontiac would do. (Hey, you asked!)
