Thank You, John, and no I unfortunately haven't, it's just a a good cell phone photo I guess, although you know how much I wanted to get it done the right way, but I haven't touched nor got anything on my car or for my car for that matter for past few months, not knowing how long I'll be keeping it, next few months will tell I guess.

He accidentally ordered the wrong part thanks to a diagram issue, so he ended up with two sets of rings. The new rings were recently painted (though I advised him to paint the old rings and keep the new ones chrome)

No, see previous.
Yes, the implication is that you can take that grille to a shop for a professional quality paint job, and probably do it around $100.
I might also re-wrap the fog lights. It's been 2 1/2 years now, and the tint is nicked up a little.
They were etched, primed, painted and clear-coated. IDK how much CC. But really, it's cheap enough to just touch up over the next couple of years, if necessary.
I'll take some pics tomorrow.

Well I guess I didn't make myself clear, if I'd be touching the grille, I'd be totally sending it to a shop in Florida who would professionally make it emblemless and painted color of my choice for 260 plus shipping, but since I haven't been sure about the whole car keeping situation, I decided to lay low and hold off any mods or unnecessary car expenses, ya know what I'm sayin'?

I know.. I've been leaning towards keeping the car for some more time lately, but who knows, yes definitely if the decision is to keep it then there would be quite a few things I'd like to get done before then, but I'd like that meetup more if it happened in mid/end of may lol.

LOL. Well, one, I don't show the car because it isn't a show car. And two, I'll have you know I was driving it today, on snow tires, while it was snowing in single digit temps and the roads are all covered in slush and salt. The car looks like total **** right now....
...which makes me sad, thank you very much.
