    New Grill - Installed

    Slowly but surely getting around to installing my stockpile of parts. Got the new grill on today. After installation I noticed the silver underhood parts, so I'll remove it one day this week and spray paint all the stuff black. Check it out.........

    Curb rash. Did a quick U-ey one day and rubbed the hell out of it.

    Yep, whenever you install one of those grills, you have to spray the backside with flat black paint.
    Looks a lot better in my opinion!!

    I need your hood...my blower is too tall... LMAO!!

    So use flat black instead of gloss? I was gonna hit it with gloss.

    Gonna need the hood for my SC. I told ya bro, I'm gonna build up a badass ride similar to yours. I've just chosen to go slower. Baby steps.

    Yes!! Don't use gloss...lots of light gets in there...you want flat!! I actually used a camouflage type of paint...flat black basically.
    You just don't want any type of reflection or shine though the grill.
