Did the grill on the 6 I think there is a pic of a PC'd bumper somewhere.
Big difference though between the models. The 6 is suppose to be black

If the anodizing is in good shape on your grille, see if you can find one where it isn't to powdercoat. They are not available new so would it would be nice to keep one in good shape in original condition.

I bought my car with a black grille installed. You can see it in the "as purchased" and "maiden voyage" folders on my triumphowners page (link below). I couldn't get the correct grille on soon enough.

It's your car, but chrome and shiny aluminum is the way to go in my totally unsolicited opinion.

Can you say "pimp my ride" Chrome is my favorite colour!

OK Frank, that was low

 

[justin_mercier]

But accurate!

Myself, I'm not huge on chrome, too shiny, i like the more muted look of stainless, and i like blacks. Maybe I'm just weird.

I'm with Justin. That's why I went black on the 6 and Titanium on the Wedge
Engine pieces that is

chrome it is. thanx jeremy, glad I could see what it would look like before I ruined it.

No problem. Good luck and have fun!

I'll have you all know that I went purposely with "Black Chrome" powder coating on my gas pedal just to show that it's not always about the glitter and glamour.....

So there, Frank...............

I always liked the black grille.

My keyboard doesn't have that O with the / thru it.
Guess you got to buy the premium model.

I think i've decided on brushed nickle. as a custom metal fabricater I see waaay to much chrome and highly polished stainless. looking to tone it down a bit.I think the brushed nickle will do the trick.

Of course we will want to see hi res pics of it, of course!

 

[mtlman8]

most certainly!!
