John, actually Plasti Dip holds up really really well. Unlike regular paint, it won't chip and it actually blends within itself rather well, so any follow up application actually looks like part of the initial spray.

Black grills on non-black cars look retarded! it reminds me
of when I was in the Honda game and kids just bolted a ton
of ill fitting, non painted lip kits, black type-r grills, then called it a day.

You are entitled to your opinion, and I am entitled to mine, which is that my matte black grills look far better than the chrome ones an death my matte black lip when it's on and the matte black diffuser on the rear not to mention my matte black rims

I think that guy is still stuck in ricer days. (Big spoiler + glue on non functional scoops)

Matt / colormatching is Motorsports style. Nice subtle appearance mods

I wonder if anyone has paint matched the outer edge and kept
the inner fins black? That would look clean..

Yes, they have and it's fairly easy to do. Our grilles are 2 piece, the outer ring can come apart from the inner grille where the slats are. Makes taping off unnecessary.
