Nice... would look better with OEM kidney grills though, because the current look awful. Screw whoever made those.

Looks very nice. I too painted my bumper grille.

My stock black grille on my pre-facelift had a hole and I spray painted the new replacment I found on eBay for $20 metallic silver to compliment my "slimbones" skidplate. I was on a roll and removed the black kidney grilles and painted those metallic silver also.

You guys really think the OE silvers look better?

I have a new set I bought from the dealer. I had them on for a day or two before (barely) deciding I liked these better. But not before going back and forth between the two in my driveway multiple times back to back, neighbors must have thought I was going insane haha

Silver for sure the black ones get lost too easily with the black wheels
