So I installed my Black Kidney grilles a few weeks ago and as I took a look at them I thought to myself how painting those diagonal black support beams behind the grilles red would look like. I think It would look pretty good with the black grille in front. What do you guys think?

You really think so? I don't know I think it would look pretty cool.

I might wrap them in red electrical tape to get a feel for what it will look like. If I don't like it I don't have to repaint them.
