...So basically if you don't post pics we know you messed up the grill, this means post pics either way!

This takes a long time. Like 4-5 hours to paint the backing black and then brush the chrome. Also, do not clear the chrome after. It screws everything up and you have to remove the clear and rebrush. Its subtle but I like it. This is not an easy thing to do on something this big, hard to not mess up the brush pattern

Search on youtube its on there. It looks ok from a distance but has a texture that looks like frost on your chrome.

bigred90gt - I hope not because I already did, unless he has more than one.
Remember that list of interested parties? F15XERO was # 0(zero) of 4 and the 1st to bail/bolt.

No worries ... It's still en route.
