So I added a non sport bumper with factory fogs and painted the front and rear black. Im not sure what I want to do with the grill yet. Part of me wants it black and the other kind of likes it chrome. I am not a big fan of chrome but I think it kind of breaks the black up a bit.

Just rattle can black touch up spray paint and clear. Took about an hour or so from prep to completion. I might do another coat or 2 of clear

That came out great!! They complete the look with your wheels. I am with the others on the grille...paint the shell black and put chrome inserts in there.
