I cant decide what to do with my Grille and inserts and wanna hear some feedback... Before (left) I have the OEM Honeycombs and the all chrome grille. After (Right) I have OEM Sport Inserts that i dipped and Dipped the Whole middle cross hair of the grille. It doesnt hold up to my perfectionist standards but it will do for now, till it warms up lol. Unfortunately my grille isnt color matched, bc that would look a lot better so its chrome for now....Also, i put the Bull Bar back on and it looks alot better with it on. Can always post more pics.

Should I Plastidip the whole grille ?
Keep the whole grille Chrome?
Take the dip of the sport inserts and keep them chrome?
Keep em black?
Put the Honeycombs back on after painting black?
What? Any combination please!....I can always put more photos up....
And if painting the OEM Honeycombs, does anyone have some preffered paints and painting methods to share please? Thx

I like the black cross hairs / slat grill personally.
It's a unique look but still looks somewhat stock.

i actually really like it how it is! kinda gives me an idea for mine! i wanna go with the black back headlights but thought it may look funny with the all chrome grill. what you did may just have that balance! looks good!

I think you should keep the honeycomb but color match the shell.

Well color matching really isn't in the picture right now...dont have the money for it and dont want to dump a whole lot more money into this....hope to get a 4x4 in the near future.
I Guess ill just keep it how it is. That is what i liked about it too, ties in the chrome bumpers. If i ever come around to dipping the bumpers ill dip the whole shell. I thought about Keeping the Sport Inserts Chrome and dipping the whole grille, idk how that would look. But i will see when i go to re-dip, bc i am not satisfied with the job i did lol! Thanks for the feedback guys!
