Painted my grills black yesterday on a whim...

tried something a bit different than what i've seen...i personally like it...not sure how the rest of you all chrome haters will feel...

i left the inner lip chrome...since my slats were already black i just had to paint the outer lip...

sorry the pictures kind of suck...my camera sucks (will sell it for $75)...or maybe i suck at taking pictures...

I'll just come out and say that I think this looks hot, actually! Original - props for that

Overall, a good mod

Good job!

Now go and take some decent pics!

Well that was new! It should appeal to those who like chrome and somewhat to those who do not!

I don't like chrome, but it appeals to me - go figure...
