Default Hmm, Chromed Out Grille Or Something Else?

Hey Happy New Year guys ! I hope all of you had a nice and safe new year!

Just wondering, I came upon this nice picture, is that chrome or silver paint? The grille really blends well with the silver GS.

Looks like silver paint to me Diesel.. Need a close up of the grill to know for sure but I would say 80% sure it is paint..

Not sure if you saw this pic in another thread it is of a Silver GS with mirror tints..

Oh definately YES I saw that pic 2SAVVY . Thanks for putting it up again! We finally found a GS with full mirror, unlike how you and I tried to get that pic from the ever so reliable RMM website

Diesel,

Honestly I still don't like the mirror tint thou.. On a Silver GS it would be the only car I would think of doing with that tint but it still doesn't do it for me..

Happy New Year Buddy!!

The rear isn't exactly my style.

2SAVVY, your right, I would only put this kind of tint on a silver GS . Take care my friend.

Maybe its just me but this pic below looks Photoshoped maybe because its so low.. Or my eyes are playing tricks on me.. Sasha is right that is a Falcon Kit.. As for if its a fake I have no clue.. I'll post pics of the Falcon Kit for comparison and the experts like Globe and Manaray can fill in the blanks..

damn that is a nice GS, those rims and body kit are just plain awesome. The mirror tint is a very nice touch. 2SAVVY it does seem a bit too low does it not, maybe you are right.
