Re-worked front grills
So I redid the grills today. I spent a lot of time on them. I switched the grills to black. It does look really clean in black. Please give me your feedback. Please no comments that are unnecessary. I also added a photo of the carbon fiber mirrors.

thank you mod mike!!! I spent ALL day doing this. I was trying to be so careful customizing the stock grill. I am very satisfied with what it has come out to be. The car looks aggressive. Just what I was looking for.

Thumbs up Definitely...
...much better in black.

The natural stainless steel color, while interesting, was not as subtle.

The new configuration is very elegant and befitting of the marque.

Nice job!

looks great, but if you paint the grills, you cannot keep it that clean too long. i did similar painted grills in my previous car, and a few months later, the grills look ugly.

Thank you everybody!!! I really appreciate the compliments. I am very satisfied with them. I will admit that I do like it much better in black. As for the chipping I used a bumper paint to resist from chipping. Then I used a flat black primer to give it the flat color look. Primer also holds a lot stronger. We will see how that works. I post next summer when I take the car out again.

150shot if you want to mail them to me I would gladly do it for you.

Waaay better.

One thing about the carbon covers, I always found mine would pop off so I sold them. Unless they are full OEM carbon mirrors of course, which is sweet.

Cheers
