Paint the rear grill/trim?

I have an SS/TC grill that I painted satin black so it fit in better with the evo mod/wheels/interior/gen4's.

But now I keep looking at the back and debating on painting the rear grill on the bumper by the exhaust and tinting the tails. Just doesnt feel like the front of my car flows well with the rear.

Thoughts?

I would say paint it. And on the tails, don't do the VHT like I did; get it professionally done. I think mike did 10% black and 90% clear; will have to double check with him though.

You need to do the struts too...

The chevy symbol originally was chrome with the center red and it looked better but the bodyshop repainted the whole thing red. I will probably redo it with the chrome being red and the inner being black.

Struts are planned but probably just the new kyb's. As far as the taillights go i will probably just order 1 of the k2 sets that way I can easily go back if need be.

And my gen 4's have stress cracks in them from being one of the first sets and running the halogens....
