Did you paint your own radiator?

I have the Agent 47 grille and the radiator shows through so much I was going to paint it flat black. I was warned not to paint it because it would hurt the air-conditioner performance. I painted the radiator support like you did and let it go at that. I'm not happy with the way the radiator shows up in the daytime... especially when its a bright sunny day.

I would just move them. Sounds like it's pretty easy to do.

I didnt paint my rad and I dont think its a good idea as those grilles is what cools everything down and if you cover them up with paint, well, I am not sure if they will function properly. The horns are held on with one bolt. Move them by the headlights and hold them on with a bracket/and screw in or zip tie, or whatever works. As far as seeing a silver rad through the grill, it looks good if its not broken up by the horns. My paxton intercooler shows on the bottom grill. I think it actually looks good.
