Well everything ran me pretty cheap (for the front of the car)C-Mod/paint= 140$ + 30$ = 170$ installation was free Lip= 100$ and paint was 100$= 200$ (bought from Codered)Eyelids= 41$ + 40$ paint = 81$

So for everything $451 with paint soo not bad considering it changed the whole front of my car

werd my room is piling up slowly with all my mods so far i have 3 things and more coming lol cant wait for summer

bro i gotta say i love ur car at first it seemed a lil bland but now its like a whole new car it looks sooooooooo sick congrads n u got my vote for dark slate so far lol keep up the good work

imo though if ur not planning on new headlights "ie blackout or projectors" please get the gtr front overlays...they dont reduce visibility and they make the whip look sooooooo much cleaner i wish i kept mine and just didnt black em out deff not woth the work

Nice work man, it looks great! So what is the best way to go about painting the radiator? Do you have to uninstall it? and what kind of paint should be used? Is it possible to remove the front bumper by yourself or do you need someone to help? Thanks for your help.

Well The way I did it was sprayed the radiator down with VHT night shade tint spray, that can found at any autozone or advanced auto parts. I didnt uninstall the radiator I just used newpaper and tape around it, so I wouldnt spray any other parts of the car.Another person is not needed but it HELPS ALOT, when you have to take the bumper off of the clips on both sides and then when your done it helps that someone holds up one side of the bumper while you latch on each side

Appreciate it! I'm looking forward to giving this a try. I have a black coupe. If I paint the radiator and grille, you think the support bar will still be visible? I don't want to cut it out unless it's really noticeable.
