Easiest thing to do is pop out the honeycomb or tape it off and spray paint it black. Lots of people have done that on here.

How about original color?

Little plastic tabs are brittle, be careful

I've only ever seen black on honeycomb. The 97/98 grills were gray but I've not seen a gray honeycomb grill... only a badly faded black grill that looked gray lol.

To remove the grill do you just take off the top access panel above the radiator?

take the radiator cover offs and there is some bolts to remove, also have to remove the headlights and take out a few more bolts. Then the whole surround comes off and you can pop off the honeycomb from the Tabs on the grill shell. There's a few good YouTube videos showing step by step. I did it a few years ago so my memory may be fuzzy



Yeah not denying gray is out there. Like. I said 97/98 was gray so it makes sense some newer ones were gray too. Also not seen anyone who's painted theirs go with gray. Everyone goes with black. Just looks cleaner IMO

I painted mine black since it was faded and have no regrets.
