    New Grill Color

    So I picked up one of Ron's 3 piece grill inserts and was thinking of what color to paint them, white or black, did a shot of white of them on the VX:

    I would go with a darker color...

    Are they metal or plastic? If metal I would sand them down and clear them so the bare metal shows through

    I'd take the ISUZU badge off of the grill so the backing is uniform black.

    Just heat it up with a hair dryer and it comes off easily.

    they are plastic, was just looking at them in white, will be taking most of grill work out so there is just a small bit around the outside and maybe cut some SS mesh to put behind it.

    +1 - White with a SS mesh should look good, think there's a pic running around here that shows the look. I'll dig around tonight and see if I can find it for you.
