I have been wanting to paint my grill black and I finally got around to it. I sanded-primed-sanded 3 times. Then started the painting-sanding-painting process. Did that 6 times and this is the result. The finish is actually pretty smooth, but I can see it chipping in the future. I just need it to hold up until after summer until I can get a Bullitt grill. The pony is on the wrong side. By the time I got done yesterday I didn't have the energy to swap it over. I will be getting to that this week some time. I also added a Super Snake Hood stripe a few weeks ago.
Yes the pics are crappy, my girl has my camera.

Looks good! I have the CS fascia, and recently bought a black billet Shelby upper, still trying to decide what I want to do with upper, lower center, lower sides, fogs/driving lights etc.

What do you have as the lower side pieces? I don't want to keep the honeycomb if I go billet's but the Agent 47 scoops or the Shelby brakeduct/fog combo are a bit pricey.

Ohhh wow that is a gorgeous car! Those rims are sick.

I actually went and got some black stretch material and covered the areawhere the honeycomb was. I originally tried to put some foglights in the lower valence but they looked bad so I did this to cover up the holes I cut. It holds up pretty well for what it is. It's the same material as Under Armour clothing.

Thanks man, I love them too. I wanted the Alcoa's but couldn't afford them. This is my alternative. I think they look just as good.

Fabric huh? That never cross my mind as an option, I was thinking acrylic plates cut to fit if I did a DIY job, with speaker ports for brake inlet & possibly fogs.. basically recreate the Shelby setup. I'd be interested in seeing closeups of what you did.

Looks great. I like the blackout grille look.

wow I almost feel like a putz. All this time I've caught myself wishing my billet grill was black and you go and just paint it. Now I know what to do if I ever decide to get a hood stripe or something. Great job, man.

Car looks great!

Where did you get stripes? It's matte black?

KennyLSU

They are poorly done at the moment, but have lasted for over a year. I plan on redoing it sometime soon. I just stretched out the fabric to each corner and screwed in a very small screw to hold it in place. What I would recommend is taking the stock honeycomb plates and wrapping the fabric around them. It would look a lot cleaner imo.

It's really simple. I was worried that I would screw it up and I was shocked how easy it was. I kick myself for not doing it sooner.

Yes it is matte black. I got it from Baltimorestreetmods. They took a couple weeks to come in the mail but they are great quality.
