Has anyone put single row curved bars between the 2 thin chrome grille bars?

Looks VERY sharp! I like the headlights. Been contemplating doing the same, but I'll black out the frames first.

Granted the first attempt was not a whole-in-one but they have to repaint some other stuff again so I'll have to pull the chrome bars off again to have them repaint and hopefully get a closer match. Pulling the chrome off the grill takes a trim tool kit and a lot of patience. Not finished yet but here is what it looks like so far.

I used Oracal Charcoal Metallic. It was closest match on the samples.. I tried 3m, Avery, and Hexis and this was the best I could find.

Is that Platinum White? Thinking about getting it and not sure how it matches?

Yes it's platinum tricoat white... They had to paint the door and hood (factory defects) as well. All three pieces ended up 3 different shades. They are going to re-attempt painting it again in another week after ppg comes and figures out the color variations. Honestly it's been painted for two weeks and there is already a paint chip in the grill. I may just order the platinum grill at some point but it's $688 which I'm having a hard time justifying at the moment.

Off topic, but I'm removing my platinum grille - so it will be for sale soon... PM me if interested
