    My original thought was to paint this grill same color as car , which will be "Sour Green Apple" kind of a pearl light green but the more I look at it I'm kinda thinking maybe just do the outer bar in paint and the 3 inner bars chromed.

    What do you think ?

  2. I think the chrome would look awesome! Expecially with the light pearl green, it would work well together. Good looking car by the way.

    Always chrome on bumpers and grilles,never paint...sucks with the price of decent chrome,but it'll be worth it,especially if the metal on your grille is good

    If you chrome only part of the grille it should be the outer surround bar not the inner bars.

    Crome would be awesome. Just enough to complement all that paint.

  26. Looks like you put a lot of work in on it, a chrome grill and bumper will cap it off.

    monochromatic paint jobs should have died with John Ritter. A chrome grill and a blower peaking out would be NASTY.
     
  30. Needs to be chrome.
