I got my altezza grill installed today and have some black projectors comming veryyyy soon. Should I get the whole grill painted the same as my car?, everything except the mesh part, or leave it all black? Tell me what you all think

hmmm.. probably paint the lip part and leave the grill area alone.

Ya, I was thinking just to paint all the lip area around the grill and just leave the mesh looking part black. I have the rad cover also, do i need to take off my whole grill again in order to get all the lip area painted or can they do it without having to touch anything? What would be best?

since you are getting black projectors, i suggest just painting the outter lip. The silver/black theme will look better.

what about painting tho? Do i need to take apart the grill and just take that to the guy?

yea, give him the grill as well as the color code for your car. just make sure you tell him what exactly you want painted. just the outter lip.

u should just go to a shop and have it done, u might mess it up =(..i went to a shop and had the lip painted red to match my car.. i paid 50 bucks. oh and the color code should be on the driver's side door.
im planning to put on the same emblem from th estock grill and put it in my painted altezza grill...
peace

bring ur car in, so they can see the color code on the drivers side...well they can just look it up, but just in case just bring ur car =)

they can match better if you're car's in there, but all they really should need is the code. I brought mine (grill only) to a Collision Center with the code and they had it done the next afternoon for $35. Matched pretty good for red.

the code is on the drivers door jam (by the tire info)...
i think its NH-623M for SSM

the paint isnt that hard to match if they know what they are doing
(the casting is tough to match)
