Thanks for the comments. I used Krylon Fusion for Plastic, but you really need to finish it off with the clear or it won't be glossy enough. The clear coat will give it that wet look. I'm probably going to get matte black or CF. I'm still trying to get used to the black grille look.

I wouldn't recommend spraying on top of the chrome. It will eventually chip. Get the gloss shadowline. You should have some left over pocket change from the R10's.

Haha, unfortunately my Europe trip took care of that. Those black Neez wheels did look good - too rich for my blood though. I don't think I'm cut out for all this DIY stuff. I'm just gonna get black grilles and SLT. Much simpler...

Nice tips, what kind are they? Are they the M6 oval tips?

Does any vendor sell Glossy Black Grilles or do most just get them sprayed? Thanks.
