Default Black Si grille on Green 99 EX...So good or no good?

I figured that I'd ask you guys what you think of this grille before I repaint it/have it repainted. (Where can I find a large amount of G95P Clover Green Pearl paint by the way?)

Should I keep it this way or paint the edge part green? (See stock grille picture.) I think that it would look killer if I had a CF hood with it, but I'm not going that way!

All right. Now that's the encouragement that I was wanting

I think that I'll go with PaintScratch.com stuff, unless someone recommends something else in the show&shine forum. I can have either a $75 dollar order if I order a little can of basecoat + the rest of the stuff that does 6 square feet, or I can order a pint for my sprayer that goes on the air compressor for $150 and have plenty of paint left over. I actually do want to DIY...maybe get some old panels or sheet metal to experiment with!

Paint it. It sticks out a little bit too much for my tastes. If it was flat black it wouldn't be so bad...

I was at Schuck's the other day, and noticed they had spray paint that was in OEM colors, including Milano Red among others. Not sure if they had Clover Green, but it's maybe worth a shot checking out your local autoparts store

Hmm.. Would it be OEM quality paint though? I want it to be verbatim to the rest of my paint job!

Heh..but I have other stuff to do than turbo..i.e.: nice sound system..
And I don't want to sacrifice MPG for speed....I might get a del slow to speed up and make worthy of turbo/super.

It's all about the sounds when cruzin'. Get some 20's to go along with the system.
