I brought my car to a custom shop in town & had them put small strips of vinyl to cover the silver and make the grill 100% black.
I think it changed the whole look, and really helped blend the massive grill in- hard to tell in photos, but what do you think?

How long has it been since you had the vinyl on? And since the front takes on the most debris and all, has the vinyl been able to stick pretty well? Or have you noticed some peeling. I asked a wrap shop what they could do about it and they told me to just wait for aftermarket options or go for the carbon m performance. They said if they were to paint it, it wouldn't be long until the paint would chip, since the black paint they would add over the grey wouldn't be the original layer of paint.
