The side grilles look great with the kidneys. You realize you have to black-out your exhaust tips and get black M badges now? Same thing happened to me. Chromophobia?!

Very nice indeed!!!
I just took apart the grills I bought off him and painted them wanted to make sure it
was 100% fit... Had to unscrew like 20 bolts to get to the grills but was good cause
there was alot of dry leaves and dirt on the bottom of the front AC grills...

Thinking of blacking out the rear taillights... smoke it...
But the Black M Badge sounds nice...
I dont know if I should black out the exhaust tips... Did you do that?
If so how did you> with high temp paint?

Yes, I finally caved and did it. It was bugging me since it was the only chrome on the car. You just pop off the tips with a woodblock and hammer from underneath/behind, sand them with a fairly fine grit for adhesion, clean with alcohol, and paint with high-temp paint. After each coat you bake them in the oven. I don't recall the exact time, but it's on the can. You also can get them powdercoated. Good luck.
But it really sounds VERY temping now...
So how many coats did you put on?

Installing those angel eyes were easy man.. There's plenty of harder things on the car to do.. like LED Eyebrows.... 
you got me started in the modding and got me hooked...Yes The LED eyebrows are very temping...
I have to try that as well... I have to check out the DYI I remember that Eugene did?
