Default Painting grill black?

Took some pictures of my car over the weekend, and I was thinking what my car would look like if I painted my grill black, does anyone have any pictures of that being done on a Obsidian is250?

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Lexus consider the honeycomb grille to be "Black chrome"? I'm assuming you want to make it an all black finish from all angles?
From time to time, from certain advantage points, I do notice a slight chrome shine in the grille but from majority of other angles I only notice black. In your photos above, the unique filter you used makes the chrome & cross bumper (behind the grille) appear lighter in color though.

PS- Sharp ride...love the fogs!
