OK...how 'bout this? The front grille is metalic silver, as the diffusers. Matches the other silver on the car...

I would certainly paint the surround on that front grill Aero Blue to tone it down.... the size of the trim is the one thing that puts me off on that grille.... just looks like a big happy face to me.....

I'd paint-match the diffuser.

I found this in your user gallery.




As for the grille, I'd paint it flat black with plasti-dip paint. Send it to me and I'll paint it for free.

Doc,
I was actually there in 2003 before they became the big success they are now.
I met Paul Sr. and saw a some of TV built bikes being unloaded from the trailer after they returned from a photo shoot.
I am in the pic standing by the Firebike and the Jetbike.

Pretty cool experience and senior was great to talk with.
