Need some advise

My 04 GTO is Yellow, I am trying to decide what to do- buy SAP Grilles or paint the stock grilles in a gloss black, I have seen that done on a Red 05 GTO and thought they looked good in gloss black. And if I do buy the SAP grilles do I just buy them and leave em in gloss black or Paint the outer lip yellow and leave the honey comb part black. If anybody has any pictures of stock grilles painted or SAP grilles on there cars that would be nice to see.

Thanks guys

Well, I can show you these:


I haven't put them in the car yet, because I am waiting to do it when I take the front bumper cover off to repair and paint. As you can see, they look pretty sweet. They are actually not gloss black. They are painted black, and then cleared with a matting agent added to the clear to cut back on the gloss.

I haven't done anything like that to mine yet Russ so no pics.

I really like what you have done thus far and I think they'll look great on yours.
Stock grills painted black is my vote.

The yellow lettering is not a decal, it's painted on. The overlay decals for the stock grilles are too big. The GTO lettering on the SAP is smaller and, as yet, decal overlays are not available in SAP size.

I think I want SAP Grilles done in black with the GTO lettering done in yellow(inspired by Russ ), I think they will look good even with the cowl hood on my car, I think gloss black will look good, but I'll look around and see
