Sand or strip the chrome, primer, paint.

Exactly what I did. I used 320 grit sandpaper from Home Depot, Primer from there, Black Gloss Paint and Highly Durable Clear coat from there. Just sand the hell out of the grill before hand and spray on a light coat, be patient. Let it dry and do the same until you reach your desired finish

Paint the centers black or white and it will be a huge improvment IMHO.

your car looks like it is sitting pretty low. The previous owner may have lowered the car using the Star Diagnostics system...maybe even an ELM.

I'm not sure how you can find that out. Maybe someone can chime in. Me personally, I have always had a great technician who is cool with mods, shine his palm and your warranty is in tact along with certain questions answered.

Nice rim choice...looking good.

maybe its because the back tire was a 295/35/18 on the stock rims so it means the side wall is bigger??
