Default Painted my grille black...

when i was getting the rust fixed on my quater panels because it was unbearable, i told the guy to spray my grille black to match the car.
this is how it ended up... pretty cool i think...

I think 95-97 Blazers always look better with body color matched grilles the chrome makes it look goofy

Yeah, you should get the bumpers painted. It would make for a cleaner, sleak look. I don't know about the rims. I don't think I've ever seen black bullet hole rims. It might be easier to sell them when you get your new rims if you leave them stock.

And if you're gonna go as far as painting the bumpers, what about the mirrors/roof rack?
