    i painted mine black with regular spray paint and it is holding up fine and looks a lot better, the only bad thing means that it makes you want to get the black JDM headlights really bad haha

    I think plasti-dip will give you a more matte black than spray paint if you want matte. Doesn't take that long to take off either :p

    That looks really good. I have been looking into doing that for a while, but I'm lazy and don't want to dump anymore money into my car.

    I think that'd look good on silver

    its wicked cheap and wicked fast to do, and it looks a lot better
    im pretty sure itll look good on silver, but if you put more chrome on your car then the chrome grill looks better

    i painted my own grille too. it looks good if you match the outter frame part to the color of your car. then paint the vents black. just my opinion

    damn your grille looks good as shit thunder. i wanna get the evo grille off of rrm i think. but it looks almost exactly like that

    I actually don't like that at all. I like the normal Evo grill more. It just looks awkward on the normal grill with mesh.

    his looks pretty cool, i like how he painted his side markers to match his car, but the grill, if it wasnt so bright on it, itd probably look sick, it looks ok like that though
