    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

It was just a matter of time before it got on my nerve so i had to take care of it on my own & since KOREAN AUTO IMPORTS wouldnt do a grill with my color code (TB) i took it off myself & took it to a professional painter and as u see the results i feel its much better then that silver that didnt match anything

WOW!,, I really like that look,

a couple of questions....

Did you order paint from the dealer or just match?

Est on cost of work?
 
i just gave the color code to the person who did it he used to paint my motorcyle helmets years ago and he does custom work on cars so i knew he could tape it up, paint it & get the job done right for $350 , but remember i remove the grill & hood garnish myself, KOREANAUTOIMPORTS.COM has the grill only in certain colors for $295 but that doesnt include the hood garnish, i could have gotten it done cheaper but i went with who i knew would do it right
 
Looks very nice!

Can I ask a favor? Could you take a couple shots of it from a distance? Close up is great for showing the detail, but it's hard to tell if this change alters the overal appearance of the front of the car.

it looks really nice.. any chance to post a pic with the entire front?

Ditto on that request - looks awesome based on the closeups, but I'd like to see a full frontal shot.
 
i'll take a pic of the full front tomorrow in the day time & post it tomorrow
 
Yes please.... I'm sure it makes a world of a difference :)
 
Wow...that looks great! Should have been that way from the factory! :D
