Looks alright. Of course I would only do the job on white-painted cars.

Kinda looks like its the wrong shade of white... may also want to at least do the lower grill to match. Would be a good time when you go to replace the one light.

WOW looks good...something to keep in mind for mine if I can't find a decent custom one. What kind of prep did you do to the grill and where did you get the paint??

I put a couple layers of clearcoat on it and about 4-5 layers of white on top of a nice coat of primer. i hope that keeps me chip-free.
