Looking to black out all the trim on my car however I am not sure what to do about the front grill. Has anyone blackout the front grill? (Vinyl, plasti-dip?)

Also, does anyone know how to get the silver piece that holds the star off the grill?

Any help or pictures would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

That looks great! Did you remove the grill or the silver cover? If so, can you tell me how you did it? Thanks
