Painted My Front Grille
Alright, so I posted a few days ago asking for help in removing the front grille, and no one responded 
. Luckily I just decided to pull it harder and it came out! 
I decided to paint my grille matte black to give the car a more aggressive look (And to start my blue/black theme for the car). Overall I'm very satisfied in the way it turned out, except that the clear coat I used gave the grille a rough texture. I might have to re-do it later down the line.
Anyways, here are the pix. I don't think anyone has done this on their F yet. Enjoy!
BTW - Please don't hate on that front plate..ha ha. I hated it as well, but I dodrive around LAX, so that'd be a fix-it ticket waiting to happen...

Here is a sad attempt with my photoshop skills......

I would also paint the "L" in the center, that would look good.
i'm not sure how strict they are in Cali but I'd get rid of that front plate. would look much better.
we are supposed to have front plate on our cars here in CT, but i've never had one on my GS and no one has said anything to me about it.
