While I was installing stripes on my car, I decided to black out the grill spacers (or whatever you want to call them). I used intermediate matte black vinyl.

Both sides blacked out.

I had planned to add a stripe with a Hawaiian print over the wide stripe (leaving a 3/8" border) but I really like the way the dark silver looks on the silverstone. The beauty of doing it in vinyl is that I can change it pretty easily.

Yes that member used black electric tape I recall. I tried this but used black paint. Well after the winter.....they're back....you'd never know I put one ounce of paint on them. My own fault really. I did not prime or use a paint made for plastic. It was an experiment that failed. Oh well.
