anyone ever powdercoated or painted front billet grille? just bought an 05 PPW and im not a big fan of the billet look, so looking for a cheap fix until i figure out what i really wanna do.

 

You can't make them look any better on th car by powercoating them. Save your money for other modificaton. Take them off the car. ( Disclaimer; It's your car, make it look however you want)

 

Billet grills almost always look cheap and never seem to fit perfect. Save your time and money. Replace that "Hood Rat" grill with a stocker since you have a real car not some 4cyl FWD econocar. BTW congrats on the ride.

 

lol

 

just ditch the grill and get a real aftermarket bumper or just leave it alone

 

Billet grills on anything look terrible. ESPECIALLY Z's.

 

Dear God, please No.

 

It's time to trade your car in for a 300c.

 

OP says hes not a fan of the billet grill.... Just lookin for a temp fix.


I say take it off if it isnt going to leave gaping holes in your bumper. Save dough for new front bumper!!!

 

OP = Liar. How hard is it to take off and leave off? Instead... he wants to take it off, powdercoat, and remount.

 

+1.


Thread moved...

 

I guess I was just giving him benifit of the doubt!!

 

I'd call around to some part suppliers and junkyards. I'm sure some idiot kid in your area has wrecked a Z in some point.

 

Its never been done before in the course of human history.

 

you shouldnt have ever let that touch your car... poor car, its scarred for life now.

 

Poor guy just wanted to know what a painted billet grill would look like and he got flamed. I think there are worse mods out there personally... like aftermarket hoods heavier than OEM with a crappy fit or 20" wheels. To each their own.

For the record, I don't own a billet grill.

 

Probably would be a better idea to just remove it entirely.

 

Lol my Z came with a billet grill of some sort, I actually like it, looks better than stock. (Im a fan of the stock body lines so I'll keep my bumper)

Was thinking about PC'ing it as well due to come rock chips. I say go for it and post pictures.

There are plenty of things people won't like about your car no matter what so *** em and do what you want.

The gawdy strech tire fad is 1000x worse than a billet grille lol.

 

No your billet grille is worse
