"In the light"

Just painted my 2004 upper grill black and removed "CROSSFIRE" from rear.
I think it looks good.

 

The painted grille looks mean, dude. What did you use and how did you do it?

 

I really like the simple monochrome look. You couldn't ask for an easier or more tasteful mod. Some of the Dodge and Chrysler models come with painted grills. As far as the Crossfire logo on the back I like it with or without.

Did you notice how the painted grill brings out the vertical bars in the grill that match the strakes on the hood?

I'm thinking about removing the lower grills to give the car an open scoop type look but haven't decided if that would hurt anything functionally.

I think to paint the grill properly, you should use a prime coat first and a clear coat last. How did you do yours ?

 

Very nice job. Not sure if it would look good on any other color. This is where I would still think I like the mesh grill a liitle better.

 

Since you did not post any photos for your appearance mods could you at least try to draw a rough sketch of what it looks like lol?

 

I have exactly both of those mods as well. I had the paint work done at a body shop. A recon company cleaning my car backed it into an Explore. While it was getting fixed I had the grill sprayed. I also stripped of the rear badges.

 

I'm assuming it's the last pic in your gallery.
I like the look of it.
I think the stock grill 'dates' the car - the black not so much.
Please tell us more about the paint/process etc.

 

See my last post on 5-10-08 for more about the paint/process.
