I took the week off from work... so I spent the last couple days painting my grille. I wouldn't consider it perfect, but I think it turned out ok. I used 120 & 180 grit sandpaper, 2 light coats of primer, and 4 coats of Dupli Color trim paint. I'm kinda worried about rock chips, but if it gets too bad I think I'll just eat the cost and order a new black grille from the dealer. I also have one of those e-bay antennas that you can see in the first pic. Tell me what ya think!

 

looks good! i've been thinking about doing that on my red gts

 

Looks awesome, hell of a lot better than the chrome. Especially with it being a
black car, really flows a lot better.

Nice stubby antenna too lol. I need one of those

 

When did you get the antenna, and what did you do to search for it on ebay? I want one but all I can find is the Perrin ones which have that odd base thing going on.

 

It was listed as 2008 Lancer Stubby Antenna. I see the guy doesn't have them listed anymore. Maybe you can try to contact him to see if any more are available. His name is transamguy89 and here is a link to one of the items.

Here are some more pics that I originally posted a while back:

 

Thanks. I think it was your pics that originally made me hold up on ordering the Perrin.
