 Thanks for the reminder. My grill could really use a refresher coat or two.

I really like how this looks.  But the angle of the first picture, and the lighter color, makes it look like there's a huge gaping area behind the front wheel.  I think you just kind of hit the one bad angle, as the second picture looks fantastic.  I'm tempted to do this, but in a color similar to the Nocturne Blue of my 06.  I'd rather have it blend in and be a more subtle accent.

But really, the likelihood of me ever actually doing it is pretty slim.  I can manage to put off procrastinating until tomorrow.

Great job, though.
