Painted grill

I should be slapped for posting these low quality shots... with that being said she looks pretty sinister. Flat emblem is going on monday.

Looks awesome. I think you should've shaved off the emblem on the grill though - while your grill was at the paint shop, take advantage. no need for 2 flat emblems on the front. Or at least paint it black too.

I know dude I thought about both shaving either the hood or grill but didn't want to spend the additional $$. Painting the grill was expensive enough. They disassembled both pieces, sanded, prepped, primed, painted and cleared with a ceramic clear coat for a more durable finish. Came to about $440 USD.

The replica grills don't have the emblem which i prefer and it would've saved me money! Unfortunately they weren't around when I did my kit...

Yes, you can take the emblem off but it would need to be filled etc. Although I prefer it shaved I actually dont mind the look... The CLS wheels were sold to a local board member. I bought the Kleemann's in October.
