Talking STOCK Lancer Grill Painted Black. NICE
Well Got around to getting pics of it..


basically took off the stock grill, took off the mitsu logo from the middle, sanded down, primed, and painted black ( low gloss engine enamel ) and put the shiny chrome mitsu logo back on. looks alot nicer than stock to me..... Not as nice as say a RalliArt grill, but it will do What ya think??

Sand, Prime, Re-Sand, Re-prime, and painted about 4 times, no clear coat. Lenghty process but watch TV during drying times and your fine
