Ian, personally I don't think you need to paint the chrome separators inside the headlights ... you have chrome reflectors in there anyway and they blend into that, and the reflectors will still be there chroming away even if you paint the dividers. :)

Oh sorry you meant the bezels around the reflectors ... mmm, that might actually look neat. :Handshake:

Wait, so you mean the thin horizontal and vertical line trim?
I thought you meant the sides of the main reflectors.

I remember painting the little vertical separator tween the drl and ts and I wasn't really crazy about it.

I think OEM and paint would be my preference but have you considered a brushed look on the chrome? Or maybe color matching those to the vent surrounds on the SS bumper?

EDIT: Or better yet, comp gray like your wheels!

After reviewing and going over the grill with my painter, It might be a little difficult to do. Cant really sand it because it mostly plastic and sanding the chrome could cause some warping. I might however buy a 2nd Grill and have him experiment on it and see if he can do what i wanted to do without the worries of F-ing my Grill.
