Budget Blackout Grille

[ecks618]

For all those who have college loans out of your ass, a cheap way to black out the grille.

Due to the fact that I have a lease, I was forced to buy a new grille in order to be able to return the car in its original state.

In any case, total cost was:

Grille if needed
$4 Gloss black spray paint
$4 Clear coat spray paint (not really needed, but just so paint doesn't peel)
$12 3 feet Gloss Black Vinyl (for chrome) -- with enough left from the inside part to put on the side markers, filler plate, etc.
_____
$20!!!!

Will post better pics when I get my car from the shop, its almost repaired from my stupid accident.

I could have...but I needed to use all the vinyl I had.

Where did you get the vinyl?

I got it originally for the side markers and such, but tried it on the chrome and it went on fairly well. Its not too thick so its easy to bend to fit, but I would recommend something of better quality if your thinking of a two-tone car.
