Should I go Midnight Grill w/ black headlights?

Just had the headlights done.. I think I need the grill to complete look in the front.. I have the IPL bumper to get installed, but need a good recommendation of a body shop here in Ft. Laud.. Any referrals?

What cost should it be to paint/install?

This bumper was sprayed prior to me purchasing..and It's driving me nuts with the little paint chip/ off alignment!

Nevertheless.. What'cha Think..

Headlights look great! Looking to do mine soon too. It looks like you got a really nice and even spread on the black paint. Did you use spray can or paint gun?

And to answer your question, do the midnight grill! That's the exact setup I was planning on doing with my front.

I used a paintbrush.. No I 'm just kidding.. I used a friend in the biz that does it here in Ft. Lauderdale. They do all the same stuff as 180, mainly by mail/drop off.

Nice. Looks great! Does the small light shine through at all where the amber strip used to be? I was windering what I should do about that little light.

with the wrap - the light doesn't make it.. you can see it faintly exactly where the bulb is.. but that's if you know where the bulb is and looking for it.

Midnight grille for sure. There's also the whole "black chrome" thing you can do to.

Have a 2011 G37xS coupe that now come with the black housing headlights. Just got the infinti midnight grille installed yesterday & it looks amazing. It also flows well with the color of the car as well (I have Lapis Blue). I was thinking of getting the infiniti symbol painted a glossy black as well....
