EDIT***
Just had an Idea...I'll try spraying some Adam's In and Out spray on my rad cover. That should dress it up. I haven't used that stuff since my last show.

Could you imagine a big white rectangle right over my grille? If anything, that would take away from the shaker... because everybody would be drawn to the cover.

Not at all... that Grabber Orange pictures looked great like that. And that's what mine is going to look like (not orange... white).
I can't find any better pictures right now, but:
Attachment 21451 Looks good. Flows perfectly with the grille.
Attachment 21452 Too much orange surrounding the grille.

Leo, looks good.
I've never heard of Adam's spray (so I don't know what the price differential is), but as I mentioned before, Tire Foam works great too.

I thought you used tire foam to clean your engine bay?? The adams spray is a "finisher" if you will. It adds that extra umh. It's not meant to clean up your engine bay.

So, when I use it, it's basically a cleaner/shiner in one. The first coat gets off the "dust", and the second coat is to give it some more shine and make sure everything is clean. The tire stuff is just a silicone spray.
BTW, I like your new avatar.

my .02. I'm with Tom on the center being left alone and matching the same color as the grille. The painted parts flow from the facia to where all three pieces end and it doesn't matter that your car is black. Except for the alignment(which isn't that bad) I think it looks great as-is.

On the extension covers.. there's not right answer, which is why they sell painted radiator covers, for those who want it or not.
I've always used Z-16 on my radiator cover, it creates a nice rich depth to an otherwise bland black.

You never realize how much these cars reflect the colors that they are surrounded by until you remove the colors around them.

Notice how much Tom's car reflects the blue sky and the green grass. Not so noticeable until you remove the greens and blue for the background.
