Cheap Grill Modification photo attached. Remove grill, mask, spray 6 inch strips with Performix Plastic Dip. I think it looks better. What do you all think?

I think it looks really good but I would like to see other pics from different angles and other light before I jump off the fence.

Not something I would do, it chops up the grill too much.

I like it. It's a unique look for the Crossfire and inexpensive if you set aside the time and effort that went into it. Good job!

Was never a fan of chrome. Too much bling for my taste more or less. I like the stealthier approach with darker colors.
