Black Beauty

Just had this picture of people going through drawers looking for rolls of tape.
Mentioning you did it on a _oser may slow the rush, but checker boards that lasted a few months is not the same thing. Something tells me that in a couple months, most people wont want to be outside peeling ooze and replacing tape. But I could be wrong...

Ps. And if the fan sucks, not blows, I stand corrected. I know some fans blow, some suck. Never checked with my Cruck...

I would think black paint would achieve the same look and last longer? But neat trick. I too had to stare at the two pics for a while. In fact, and I don't want to inflate the boy's ego, but until I read what 06 wrote, I could not see the difference! Now, it is a plain as the nose on ones face. I like it.

All it takes is a little Sharpie or bottle of model car paint and a small brush if you are afraid of the tape.

It is a very nice look... Kudos to you.

How bout some black touch up paint?

I would use the paint method. But a tip, based on my experiments with the stock grill. Use something to "scuff" the surface, for better and longer lasting adhesion.

To date, I've used 5 different types of applications (by the way, I've done this "mod" already) and each was easily removed with alcohol, paint thinner, etc.

Just my 2 cents.

heres some pix of mine. not sure if it will stay like this or not. It looks killer under the car bra. I'll post more pix tomorrow.

the flames are what I have for pinstripes around the HHR

That is a pretty cool idea to hide the vertical bars.
