Some of you have already done this mod to your stock grill, so I thought i'd give it a go. I also blacked out the bottom of the rear bumper and put a chrome strip above it. I think it makes the rear look less bulky. The STS has something like that. What do you think?

FastCTS,
Did you receive headlight tinting yet from AutoAll? I am curious to learn the pattern they used to cut the tinting as I am dealing with WeatherTech on their LampGuard headlight film which cannot be applied.

I like the fact that the chrome wraps around the outer perimeter of the grill to bring the top hood chrome piece together. As it stands now, the hood chrome piece justs seems to float. I painted my grill to match my body color (same as yours), but I deliberated on whether to paint the chrome hood strip too; I'm 50/50 on it even today.

I never ordered it, waiting to see how Bob's eyelids look.

Nice ideas. Looks okay. I'm not sure if the black is right. Looks cool from far away, but doesn't go the the corner. But a new idea is cool.

The black out does emphasize the duals (aka the STS) Looks good. I have the darl blue chip, so I don't think the contrast will work as well. I think I like the chrome accent on the grill, but it's hard to see the detail from that shot. Looks good!

IM thinkin about painting the back of mine black too ;)
Looks good!
The chrome strips are stick-ons?
Flip, doing just that slight trim might be enough to set off that part of the rear without doing any painting.

The chrome strips are stick-ons? The chrome is 3/8" fender moulding from Pep Boys $15.00 for a 20 ft roll .
