I suppose I also have the option of painting the grille the body colour (good on a black car, but not so good on a Moss Green vehicle, which unfortunately is what I now have.)

But in any event, I'm not a real chrome fan and if I'm forced to have it, I'd prefer the black chrome or polished aluminum effect.

Daniel ... if you're serious about doing something about your chrome grille let me know and perhaps we could do something together. BTW - whatever I do to the grille I also plan on doing to the chrome strip on the trunk.

I do want to tone down the chrome front, but I'm concerned that the paint won't hold up over the long haul, which is why I had thought of powdercoating (before DP and you reminded me that the grille on the Fusion is actually plastic :ph34r: )

Are grilles really that much used? :blink: I was thinking of maybe asking a friend who lives near Standard Auto Wreckers to go with me to grab a set during a "pick & pull day" ($45 and all you can carry, in my case the grille would just about be it)

Ken, what were you thinking of? I like the SAP grille, but the prices are enough to make me faint :ph34r:

and were you planning to do the chrome strip on the rear body colour?
