hmm, both look pretty good...I like the unpainted center tho - good stuff! BTW, if you want to paint the grill, someone told me if you 'paint' it down with white vinegar first and let it dry, then paint it, you'll get that 'dipped' look that grillcraft grilles have...insider tip from a guy who does body mods...

Take that thang off! I'm not sure about the newer bras, but the older ones had a habit of sticking to the paint after leaving it on for a long time...all that sun/rain messes it up! Just my opinion...
