lol...the mod is subtle, but it is the grill, i painted the inserts to match the silver color of the car.

I think it looks good if you like silver, but for me personally, too much silver. But overall it is a clean look.

I see what you mean, i admit it didnt come out exactly as i thought it would, maybe there is too many fins on the grill for silver, or may be i should have used a darker flatter silver on the grill, but its growing on me, just like the black grill on black clks, was not a huge fan initially but i like it now for its monochrome look, which was what i was going for with the silver grill, it definitely looks better in certain angles since the silver reflects differently with different angles and different lighting, thanks for the comments tho....keep them coming

maybe i should paint out the metal part too? can someone with photoshop skills do it for me so i can get an idea of how that would look?

I like it. I was trying to decide if I wanted a silver one on my silver car, but I decided a blacked out one will look good when I get my black/polished lip wheels.
BTW, what wheels are those?

Looking good George. It's funny that I actually did that with my grille a long time ago too.
