Grill Painting
Those of you with a new grill like the RS or altezza, did you get it painted and if so where and can you do it yourself and make it look ok? how much if you took it somewhere or what did you use if you did it yourself?
thanks
Andy

thats because the plastic of the bumper absorbs more pigment than the sheet metal of the hood. any car will look that way. some cars are just more noticeable.
