Grille Opinion, What do you guys think?

Marvilis · 04-06-2010, 06:42 PM

Sup guys Just taking a quick pol on what to do with my kidney grilles. I want to do a DIY make them Matte Black with Red inserts, I haven't seem anyone do this but, correct me if im wrong. Here's a quick photoshop pic so you can kind of get an idea of what im talking about... Let me know what you think!

JayKay335i · 04-06-2010, 06:48 PM

Absolutely not.

I335 · 04-06-2010, 06:57 PM

Interesting idea. I'd like to see a pic not so close up...

wwjbd24 · 04-06-2010, 07:00 PM

... i gotta say no here, but good creativity

Barbera335 · 04-06-2010, 07:01 PM

If you black out the Kidney grilles and use very subtle red highlights throughout the car I think it would look great. Just be subtle with the red.

I got Red leather so that covers the other red high lights LOL. You're right subtle is the way to go.

This reminds me of street figther II when I would jab jab throw.

hubble bubble · 04-06-2010, 07:07 PM

Personal preference - sitck with al black. Black on black, black wheels, black tint, etc looks kewl.

Nah. It's a good look, but only on Volkswagen GTIs/GLIs.

Equate it to the LED daytime running lights on Audis. They look good on Audis, but not really anything else.

I like that you are thinking outside the box though!

So far is NO on the Grille and A+ for creativity. LOL not a total bust.

ibeclueless · 04-06-2010, 08:02 PM

definitely not

JayKay335i · 04-06-2010, 08:16 PM

Do it. But change your license plate to "Captain Marvilis", so at least you have the super hero name to go with the look.

Tim_78 · 04-06-2010, 08:31 PM

I am gonna say NO!

OlivaresAnthony · 04-06-2010, 09:14 PM

I don't like it at all...

MCMLXXXIX · 04-06-2010, 09:26 PM

it really isnt that bad, not much variety on these forums

i say since its a DIY you should try it and then if you dont like it, do black. no big deal

oh and generally that kinda of look is geared more towards more aggressive mods

Craig@SupremePower · 04-07-2010, 12:00 AM

noooo...

shuarma · 04-07-2010, 12:32 AM

but why

TriniJots · 04-07-2010, 12:38 AM

Your going to need some other things around the car in that red to make it look good...interesting idea though
