Nick,

I also painted the grill a semi-gloss, since it then more nearly matches the paint on the rest of the car.

However, I left off the chrome strips, since all they do is "break up" the surface of the grill, and make it look less homogeneous. But if you do leave them off, then you can see the small bosses that hold the chrome strips. But with it being all black, at a distance of more than five feet, the entire grill looks great, no "funny" horizontal or vertical lines to break up the expanse of that great grill.

Such an easy thing to do, and much better, in my opinion, than the anonymous grey grill. And touch up is so easy.......Andras
