Anyone with a Altima Coupe paint their stock grill the same color as their car? YES did a search and didn't find anything. LOL

My cars going into the body shop the day after Christmas for a little sideswipe accident and i was like hey do you think you'd have enough paint leftover to paint a grille? At first i was thinking something new like the C-Mod but then he was like sure we could paint your grille how would you like it painted? It got me thinking. I eventually found a few pics of black cars with the grill painted and i think it looks pretty good. With my badges off the only bit of chrome on the car is the little bit in the grill so why not get rid of that little bit?

i wouldnt do it. Black cars, ok, other colours, no. If youre doing the WHOLE thing colour match. no... the honey comb stays black otherwise. but if you dare, do it.
