Wow, you guys give me too much credit. Just painted the lower bumper grill, that's all. Chalk this one up to another, "Should've came that way from the factory."

Wasn't thinking when I posted this, probably should be in exterior mods.
Here's the last pic. Please ignore my messy garage. I'm also in the middle of remodeling my bathroom.

some of the early 05's in the magazines look like the were painted before, or they didn't have the honey comb/cheese grater on them. I've noticed a few since I removed mine completely
Looks 10 times better than original...good job

I've got a friend who's a painter at a bodyshop, he took care of it for me. If I were to guess, cost would be around $100. He had to paint the whole thing red, then clear it, then tape/mask the whole thing off except for the honeycomb, then paint the honeycomb black. Couldn't just tape off the honeycomb because paint still would've blown past due to the shape/texture of the cheese graters. Of course, he lightly sanded the whole thing and applied an adhesion promoter first. The more I think about it, cost would probably be a little over the $100.
Oh sixty-six... I did it myself hugh, does it look that bad?
