I washed her, and took a few more pics.
This is not a finish product. As you'll see, the badges are on crooked.

That looks good how'd you do it. I like the grills it calms the car down alot?

Looks good. Now all you need to do is get black window trim and some black wheels :D

They were painted.

I dig it. Good job and thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the comments. Here's a shot one of my friends made today.

great job

I like it...how much did they charge (if you don't mind me asking) to do the grille rings?

I had new rear badging, and the grilles painted for less than 200. Now, it's getting painted again, since I didn't like their 1st try.

IMHO, I don't like the black badges. They don't look bad by any means they just look too much like the last generation Grand Am GT.

I never had a Grand Am. I just like the contrast you get with the black against the red. I know some people won't like it. I don't have any problem with that.
Some people don't care for chrome. I'm one of them.

Different strokes for different folks......I like the chrome. :)

I'm leaving the door handles chrome. :)

It blends in so well most would think the grilles came that way. Great job!

Looks great !!!! I may have to do the same when i get my car.

Are you gonna do the window trim? plans for wheels?

I'm still considering the window trim. When I get a 2nd set of wheels, black will be one of my choices.

;) will look SWEET!!

Black has alway looked good on red, that is sweet...

Finally got her cleaned up, and took new photos of the grille and badges.

Now that is a neat pic!

Paint the spoiler black next.

I don't think so.

I like it, just get rid of that GM badge on the side. ;)

I really like the change to the tail lights.
Thanks for posting!

Better view of the grille.

Looks great! Is anyone able to PS the black grille on another colour car? possibly white?

It looks so much sportier.

I painted the grilles on my GTO semi-gloss as well for the same type of contrast. It really sharpens up the appearance of these cars.

i like the black grilles, but i would have just debaged the rear...
