the top grille was fine it wasn't that bad for 12 buck (got 20 rebate from paypal) but the bottom was just not worth it.. they just sent me that metal piece (which is really nice in quality) and zip-ties... :(

yea i might spray it white in a few days

for sum reason the lower grill looks wierd to me... but the top grill looks great. i say u should remove it. lol o_O

dun trip abt the headlights, they wont come crooked, only way is if u bake or heat the plastic too long, n it warps. jsut take ur time...
i was hella scared wen i first opened up my headlights... but it was worth the 5 hours >.< ppl always give me complements abt them. n i think they would look real good on ur car.

some tips if u ever decide 2 blackhouse ur headlights:
- use a heat gun... oven is ok... but ur gonna have 2 go back n forth from the oven 2 get the glue hot enough and sometimes it cools too quick.
the risks are the same wheter heat gun or oven, theres a possibilty 2 burn/melt parts, but with a heat gun.. u have more control wehre the heat goes.
- try not to heat headlights for longer than 5 mins ( i think).
- use hi temp engine paint if u dont already know. and painters tape. =]
- dont get leaves trapped inside ur headlights.... :bash: LOL
