Your opinion? (rear grille)

I painted the rear grille silver and after that masked certain areas and painted it black. Now I would appreciate your opinion, is this cool or not?

What do you think?





Leave it like this, or paint back to black?

I think I would have stuck with black, wait till you get it all back together before deciding.

Are you masking the wheel to paint them as well? If so, what color? I think the grille works, at least it's fairly subtle.

If you like it, who cares? I never listen to others if I decide on stying issues. Looks like you have other things to do, I wouldn't worry about the grille too much.

They are RIAL 16" diameter, 8" wide. Front is 7" wide. Tires are 215 in back and front 205.

They have 20mm spacers in the rear.

i like the grill! Different but right. What is with the exhaust? I would think that it is loud. Do you have an equilizer pipe between the two mufflers?

No equalizer, just 2 straight through mufflers.

A person who has had same kind of setup in his car said that the rumble is low and pretty pleasant at low revs, and after 5000rpms world explodes

I like it. It makes a nice subtle contrast to the silver paint you have. keep it.

It looks good on your car. Works with the silver.

I'd have to see in person. Although it kind of looks cool in the pic I think a fresh black grill may look better. I agree with Paul; wait till it's all together, then decide.

I think it looks great...... nice subtle touch. If you get bored of it you can always change it in a year or two....
