Painted grills w/poll

Alright guys I got some OEM 04-06 grills off of eBay and painted them to titanium in color, I did this so I would still have my OEM matte black 3.0 ones just in case.

Now here is the final result, do you guys like it? If not I still have the original ones which I can throw back on anytime

Can't really tell that close up. How about some pictures showing more of the X?

alright looks like its split down the middle

is it the paint I used? I could probably find a slightly darker shade of silver, I actually got the inspiration from juniorX5er from x5drivers, his looks a better because of the black combo.
