lol powdercoat your rims i guess. i suggest you just get the se mesh grill if u want the black. the le grill would look ugly black imo since its to match your car color anyways

I was looking to do exactly what you want.
my headlight are black retro and I wanted to paint grill and emblem same color.
my friend photoshoped it for me, grill looks...ugly.
got black plastic SE grill, aftermarket.
painted emblem myself-didn't like it at all and switched back to chrome.

Here is the link to my thread if you want to see more pictures of my grill. I was thinking of switching to the SE grill but it seems like im the only one with a blacked out LE grill so im staying with it.
