I liked the grills silver. Black they look cheap for some reason. Wonder if they would look good if the enire grill assembly was powder coated chrome (not quite chrome).
(DISCLAIMER: I've wondered on powder coating a lot and what sounds good in my head, doesn't always look good real life.
I've had to redo a few pieces. )
Ok, bear with me here, this may sound dumb, but I wanted it to look cheap. To be more clear, I wanted it to look like an OEM newer car piece. Sort of plastic-y (I may make another one out of plastic one day, but that’s a later thing). If you look close, I intentionally left three hex openings not cut out along the bottom of the grille. That’s to make it apparent that it’s not just a piece of perforated metal stuck behind the opening. OEM grilles always seem to have openings cut through and some not because of mounting tabs and such. I don’t know. Easy to change out later, but that was my thought process.
