Painted flat black grille, color matched side markers, and removed door chrome strips. Sorry for the quality, will get better pictures later.

Yes it is. I used fishing line since the dental floss kept breaking on me.

I painted the grille myself. total cost, 18bucks. color matched side markers, $20 at the body shop.

$20 at the body shop? did you take everything off and just brought them the reflectors? because that seems really cheap.

I know this thread is old but, when taken the bulb out of the side marker, are there any warning messages that lights up on our cluster?
