V-Grille Installed

Remove this ad
Installed my V-Grille today. It took about 30-45 minutes, mainly because of my fat fingers. LOL. I found it was impossible to replace the grille without cutting some pins unless I took the bumper cover off. Very easy though.

I decided not to paint it yet to see how I like it. Here's the look:

Are you definitely painting? Or are you still deciding between painting and leaving as is. If you do paint, what color are you gonna paint, body color, black??? It looks sweet as is btw...

Re: V-Grille Installed

Thanks,
I was going to paint it black, but I like it as is.... Maybe I will wait till I get my rims and then decide. It's easy to take it out.

Re: V-Grille Installed

Looks nice. I think the chrome looks better on the white.

If you do want to change the color, look into powder coating the mesh as it is more durable and the paint will chip easily. You will need to paint the outer molding since it is plastic. If you do, be sure to put several coats of clear over the paint to harden the surface.
