Black Si Grill on Royal Blue Pearl Sedan

Philip260 · 01-03-2008, 12:01 PM

Title explains everything. I have a lx sedan in RBP looking to replace the chrome grill..

How does everyone think it will look? Has anyone done this already? or is paint a must. Thanks in advance!

Edit:

Here is a picture of my car currently - chrome sticking out. blah

Here is a picture i just modded in paint. no chop skills but if you squint the blurred pic looks pretty sweet right?

Oh yeah also added side markers that im hoping to put up.

I also did a paint in black but it didnt look as good so im most likely going to have to paint it..
My question is does anyone know the paint code for the 2006 Royal Blue Pearl. I found the code for an old lude and it was B-536P. Is this the same? Also how much will the paint run me?

Thanks in advance!

let me answer my own question...looks like B-536P is the correct color! any other RBP folks looking to do or have done the same thing?

the paint code should be on the doorjam of the car. Theres a sticker either on the door, or the jam that has the weight of the car, vin# and a few other things along with the color code

i dont think black will look good. i think you'd be better off painting the one you got

just buy the si grille!!!

anavrin351 · 01-03-2008, 10:07 PM

^^2 different tones of blue wouldn't look good

07mugencivic · 01-03-2008, 10:08 PM

its would look good black or CF

anavrin351 · 01-03-2008, 10:16 PM

CF would look good w/a CF hood. I think for a clean look though the body color would be best

elsnowblow · 01-03-2008, 10:29 PM

i just painted my grill like a gun metal grey like 6 months ago

SiLVER Surfer · 01-03-2008, 11:50 PM

i wasnt too sure if it would look good but that one ^^ looks ok

Yeah i was trying to make it the same color and not have two tones but my mspaint skills arent too hot. i actually bought the NHBP Si grill from CHH. Ill post a pic up when i put it on. although right now im leaning towards paintin the top and bottom part of the grill royal blue to match the body color

xifix · 01-04-2008, 05:18 PM

id like to see the si grill on this car, im also interested in replacing the chrome grill, if not painting it.

I used to not like the chrome grill, but then noticed that the JDM CTR has the chrome grill. I say keep the chrome and do a CTR conversion.

Philip260 · 01-07-2008, 04:28 PM

so paint match the Si Grill? Should i paint match the Si Base as well?? ive seen a couple done and it looks pretty good.

elsnowblow · 01-07-2008, 05:16 PM

did someone say carbon fiber?
battle endless performance has them under csx

I think that would be your best bet. I think having a black grill would look a little off. What you could do is color match the grill, but then paint the base another color, like flat black or maybe gray.

mr-spain · 01-07-2008, 09:08 PM

I'm wondering what the chrome would look like on my Si..if anyone is letting one go let me know how much you want for it.

Philip260 · 01-08-2008, 11:34 AM

i might have an extra one after i do this grill converision.

just dropped off the si grill for paint. now to get rid of the Si bracket. Is dremel the best tool to use? can anyone show me a pic with the Si bracket removed? thanks
