Mine is not a SLP grille but a Tony Stewart grille. I had the edges painted on mine. Here is a pic just to give you an idea what it looks like. I had the grille area painted to match my ground effects also.

I can't vote in your poll because I don't know your plans.

If you decide to do the lower grille black, then doing just the outside white and leaving the middle black would look much better. But having that be the only bit of black will look weird on your car. (IMO)

However, if don't paint the grille white, the white behind your grille will show through and look weird.

i see what your saying mike, well the i dont think i like the all white idea :p
i think im goin with the white around the grill and black in the center
and of course im painting behind the grill first
as for the lower grille, i'll just paint it black, i dont see the point in spending $70 for the slp one when you can easily paint it yourself
