I painted my grille black. It turned out really good. I was really happy with the results.

The black bowtie looks cool I think the grille inserts would look mean black also. Do you guys in the states have to run those amber lenses cause clears would make it look mean

You can put clears on here in NA. The only requirement (at least here) is that there is an orange reflector and bulb somewhere in it. It may vary in the US though and from state to state.
