    So I think im gonna paint my grille this weekend. I want to go black (obviously) but was wondering what you guys think. My choices are gloss black, flat black, or bedliner. Im gonna use krylon fusion as a base coat to stick to the plastic, but was wondering what yall think about the different options I have. Im kinda leaning towords bedliner for rock chip purposes, and because my rear bumper (soon tobe front bumper aswell) are already done with the bedliner.

    Bedliner looks cool. Im a fan of color matched grille and bumbers but since one of your bumpers is already belinered id go ahead and match it

    I had mine color matched when I did my Satoshi. Even though both bumpers are done with bed liner. I think that way looks cleanest.

    I'm kinda thinking of doing bedliner for the front bumper too, cause the paint thats on it now is all chipped & rusty in spots. My biggest reason behind bedliner for the front is for rock chip prevention & from crap offroad
