Interested in this too, I'm going to repaint mine. Not sure if I'm going gloss or flat black.

Grill painting

I'm going with flat black seems more in line with the car

You have to remove the bumper and take them out from behind.

And if the front bumper is off its a good time to clean out the rads. I plan to do mine as soon as it warms up a bit more here.

It is unbelievable how much crap gets in between radiator and condensor so blow out with Compressed air or hose out. Bumper comes off pretty easily and vents are snapped in from behind

Thanks guys, and great heads up about cleaning out the rads. Will have to wait until it gets a little warmer to drop the front bumper.

Bumper Removal

Awesome video, definitely will clean the radiators out now that I seen how dirty they can get. BTW I've seen these fine mesh grill insert sold on eBay to protect the radiators. What's the opinion on these? Good or bad? Again thanks guys, I feel empowered.
