Civic Front grill

Would it be possible for someone to color the chrome grill black like the car, but keeping the logo chrome.

Thanks for the photchop. I think I'll spray the chrome part of the grill today.

The car is on the road near ny home. I only stopped for 1 minute to take a quick photo.

It should like fine. Post pics after you do it. I'd really like to see how it looks :)

EDIT: I just really took a look at your car. Do you have the Mugen kit on it? And is it a JDM Civic or a CSX? I only ask because of the Honda grill. How much did all that cost you? That's a dope ass setup. I'm thinking about doing CSX/JDM headlights on my coupe.

i just noticed that u got the mugen body kits on that. NICE! well if u want to u could wait for the mugen civic dominator grill. its black, and it mite be CF as well, im not too sure on that tho. im not sure when its out yet, but its looks like this...

i think with that red emblem ur car would look even nicer.

Thanks for the mugen grill photochop. It's nice. I have a mugen kit on it. It cost around $500 for 6 pieces, but it's fiber.
The grill you have shown is about $138 in Thailand, imported from Taiwan.

My chrome grill is at the paint shop already. Maybe a coupe of days for the paint to dry good. It's worth a try as I don't like a lot of chrome on a black car.

AWESOME! I didn't realize you had a Mugen kit on there. I definatly know what your saying about the chrome! It will look like a diffrent car when you get that chrome piece professionaly painted black and put back on there.If you could get them to paint the the emblem H red or black that'd be cool too.
I'd love to see what it looks like in real life when you get it back on there, but don't stop in the highway to take the pic.
