    ^ it doesn't look good, look at the chrome on the right where i attached

    but i am kinda tired of the ralliart chrome, and i want to re vinyl it since my vinyl is kinda getting messed up
    and drop the vinyl down lower aswell so i can have an evo look

    and clue where i can get vinyl for pretty cheap just minimal amounts

    I removed the grill and painted the entire thing flat black including the emblem. I masked off the car and painted the middle portion under the grill flar black as well as the the inner part of the bottom lip. Will post pics tomorrow when its light outside

    as a trade in... ya... private sales... won't do anything.. if anything... it'll raise the value. the blacked out front is pretty high demand

    if you have the patience and basic skills to paint and mask off your car its pretty simple to do. Just make sure that you def rough up the clear coat really well to make the new paint adhere to it. You can use one of those scotch pads to do it or a 300 gritt sandpaper. Be sure to clean the surface really well after sanding and make sure that it has a smooth finish. Good Luck!!
