Thinking about painting grill black

The blacked out tail light trim does look pretty nice. It is a great option for anyone with damaged chrome also. I find a lot of higher mileage cars have the chrome worn off under the trunk lik gap/drains and of course the license plate bezel tends to eventually peel.

And yes, my "supercharged" emblem is also on the right, and every one in the wrecking yard (four so far) are on the right.

96_Juggernaut's emblem is just "special"  

J/k - and the blacked out trim looks awesome. And on a green Riv on top of that!

I guess my next question is going to be... what are you going to do with the chrome fender arches?

Same treatment for sure, however I am a bit confused about how to remove the front ones. The front ones also have a few broken clips which are causing them to bow out a little, compliments of who ever side swiped it while it was in storage. would it be just as easy to buy universal black trim ? Never used it before and not sure how it looks and mounts.

The front arches are tricky. It's tough to get them off without breaking most of the clips that hold them in. Ridiculous GM couldn't do it similar to the rear with the screws. I picked up 12 clips new from either the dealer or internet (they are really odd GM specific) and put them back on that way. Shop around for the clips as you can get them cheaper from online sources.

I'd say to just tape off the car and spray them on but you mentioned that one or both have broken clips already. Now would be the time to take them off and redo.

Pics when this car is all said and done. I'm really excited. Will look mean as hell.
