Semi-gloss would probably work out the best
lol i like the learn how to use a period black on message boards i rarley do just a habbit to just type
Also JRL i was thinking the semi also but just wanted to see what others experiances are/were with the grills
Re: (97GLTbrick)

Use flat or low gloss black, mid-gloss would be too glossy.
plastidip ftw. i was at lowes the other day and they now carry it in a spray can. thats new for my lowes so idk about others.

flat black to match your 04 trim.

Frankly, You should learn how to spell before you do anything else

IMHO I think it would look best if you color matched the grill border to the color of your car. Also I couldn't really tell if the mesh is silver or black, if it's silver paint it black.

Gloss black for the win!

That grill looks nice FastR. But I'm wondering it the flat-black would indeed look better with the black trim mouldings, as previoulsy mentioned.

And for crying out loud

YEP!! best stuff for the job mine looooooks HOTTTTTTT
I think color matched Passion Red with black mesh would looks pretty snazzy.

But to blackout the R...you might as well just remove it IMO. I'd just go with one of the little sticky R's...IPD has them on their site.

+1 for plastidip. The new spraycan makes it even more awesome. Holds up extremely well against rock chips
^^ Got any pics of the plastidip'ed grill??

Closest one I could find. I dont have that grill anymore unfortunately, it was damaged when my car got hit a few months back


It has a flat black finish though when dry, looked good.
