Nice. I bought mine and they don't fit too well. I think I'll give it a try tomorrow. Is that a glossy finish? It looks matte.

If you want gloss, try clear coating it after it is fully cured.

Nice job. Same mod I'll be doing on our silver X. However, I'll be leaving the chrome trim as is and painting the center part semi-gloss black. IMHO, the black contrast on lighter colored vehicles, suit the black grill better than the titanium.
