Painted waterfall grill?

Hey All~

I just picked up an extra grill. I am considering inserting a working light or painting the mock light to match my car.

Has anyone painted theirs to match? It would be great to see a picture of a similar experiment.

Cheers,
R. Augur

I was considering that with my liquid silver. Do you think that would look cheesy? It seems to work with the darker colors.

when I purchased my polo green svx, the previous owner must have painted the grill. It is flat black and really looks nice. It doesn't have to be the color of the car.

You can always cover it with vinyl. That way if you don't like the look just take it off.

I think Dengue's grill looks great.

I also like the black idea, maybe I need to buy acouple more grills.

Then I can switch my grill based on my mood....wait, that sounds a little girlie.

I've had mine black and body color. When the car was Claret, it looked good painted black, and even better painted claret. Now that the car is blue it still looks better than clear IMO, but not as good as it looked on the Claret. There should be pics in my locker of both.
