Elegance grill without the chrome
I'm not a chrome guy so I painted the Elegance grill to match the body color, I also made the chrome slats black.

It was a fun project, lots of patience and dedication.

Interesting. Kind of a mash up of the sport grill ( painted surround, chrome slats/ star) and elegance ( chrome surround/ slats, hood star), but blacked out. Nice work!
