surprisingly my grille was in great shape. no crack/peels/bubbles so i just gave it a quick sand with 100 grit sand paper to scuff it up and painted away. I'll tackle the bumpers when it warms up abit.

i thought about white, but decided it was more a sport look, as they came colour matched. plus im cheap and colour matching would have cost more.

oh yeah the chrome will be covered once the weather breaks for while. im stuck on what to do with it all. i was thinking about painting the chrome to a white, and the gray part to a black. maybe to break it up just a little as all black may be too much. oh well i have time to ponder on it. any ideas/opinions?
