Painted intake grills

[AndrewG]

Mark -

Since my girl is arctic silver and I decided to paint the grills arctic silver as well. It became an easy decision to just paint that one dual-piece all the same color. It went with the theme I have of making as much silver as possible and removing all gold.


A short list -
Chrome silver, black and red crest on my steering wheel;
Chrome silver, black and red hood emblem;
Chrome Boxster S badge on the rear;
Chrome silver and back center caps (yes, I sold my colored embossed versions just to get rid of the gold).

Good luck with the final finishing and post pictures when you are done.

Nice grill Andrew, those are also one of my favorite rims.

I decided to cut mine since the Carrara white made it way too odd looking and, in my opinion, it just didn't look right. So I took out the Dremel and went to town on it. I took my time and it took me about 2 hours but I like the results. I got it to match up identically to the other side as well.

I still left the lower portion attached to the frame. If that bugs me, I'll hit that as well with the Dremel.


Cheers

Nice idea! I think it's going to look great. That chunky piece has always bugged me. You've got me curious.

Whip, thanks.
