did you clear coat it?? reason i ask is because it looks like you didn't.clear coat would make it look like it's supposed to be there..

Quote, originally posted by NascarXprt Â»it looks even better in person.I can vouch for that; it looks really nice. I like the bottom grilles, too; they contrast with the cladding in a cool way.Whodathunk that some off-the-shelf model paint would match so closely?Clear coat might be a good idea, though.

Was it much of a job to "mask oof" the area. I notice that the area behind the grille has no "spray" on it. Did you just put cardboard or whatever behind it???

accutaly you take the grills off the car. and heres how:on the top grills there are 3 clips that look like screws, you need a flat head screwdriver to pop those out. then there are the 2 screws on the bumber you need to remove. after that is done all you have to do is start uncliping the grill there are clips all around the grill top and bottom.with the bottom grill all you have to do is unclip it from the bumper.
