Black grill - opinions

sergiuvlad · 04-16-2002, 12:22 PM

Guys, I have a chrome grill with chrome slats right now but I really like the look of the black grill. Should I just paint the outside black and leave the slats chrome, or should I paint the entire thing black? I can't tell from various pictures if the shine coming from the slats is from the chrome or because they are painted (rather than plain black plastic)... Can anyone maybe PhotoShop the two versions (black painted outside, chrome slats and completely painted black)?

Thanks,
Sergiu

I prefer it all black...look at the picture of my car in my signature, mine are painted all black.

Hey I think that the whole grille can come out- I've got the black grill with the chrome surround, and like the look of the chrome one- Wanna swap?
