You know, I have been thinking about doing that for some time now. Its one of those mods that will look amazing or like *****.

Tape up the vent with some black electical tape and see if you like it. But dont do it in the sun, lol

I'm also curious to see how that looks.

Do you mind if I ask why you didn't just paint the sport grill that was on the car? And if you want to sell it, I'd like first dibs if the price it right.
Thanks, Erin

Just incase i wanted to go back stock i wouldn't have to strip everything.

If anything i will probably sell the grill i got painted.

There are just a few 8mm bolts that you need to take off and it comes off.

If you want you can send your grill my way and i get it back to you in a week But you will have to sacrifice not having a grill.

I would, but a week is too long...You can give me a tip on taking off the grille from the pushpin though . I know about the bolts and the side clips already.
