    Hello all, I picked up some vinyl from another member on another board earlier today and my brother (who did tinting for many years) helped me out. Excuse the bugs, 40 min. on the interstate to his house killed many of insects, especially on the front of my car hah.

    I painted the grill a week or so back with duplicolor bumper paint 'flat black'. Here's a closeup of that.

    Makes the front end transform into something meaner, well, at least in my opinion hah

    Did you cut the little tow hook cover out, or just covered over it?

    Looks very nice man. Looks great with the bottom section blacked out too. Looks almost like an Evo :D Can you post a step-by-step guide?

    y aren't there any black cars black'ed out? lol... though i know it's an obvious answer... jw, how would it look on a black car ne way? seeing as even though it is black, the point is to give it a plastic look... so, anybody w/ a black car do it yet?

    GTS-SB, you should paint your chrome grill, it will set it off better.

    Thanks for the compliments guys, and those hijakers :) haha jk
