Replaced the chrome grille with the OEM midnight black grille. Hard to find pics of these on silver coupes so I was a bit nervous but I think it looks much better.

I agree bro. I painted and cleared mine and came out good. Now the sun has faded it and needs to be done again.

As for what I done today to her, just drove to the park enjoying a beautiful day off in NC.

Cause I have the money. Cause I don’t want to deal with the hassle of painting it. Cause I don’t want it chipping or looking like crap and having to do it again. Cause when the time comes I can put the original one back on and sell it. Just a few reasons...

Since we’re on the topic of grills... best remedy for chipping chrome? (Keep in mind I’ve painted the portion I want painted, want to leave the top & bottom chrome)

Hitting 100k, and didn't want to risk getting stuck somewhere, so I went ahead and replaced my clutch with the ZSpeed clutch/flywheel and CMAK. Feels like a new and much better vehicle. Love it. Being old and not particularly informed on mechanics like many on here, I can't really describe in detail why I like it better but the clutch engages better and feels more precise. World of difference over the stock clutch, which I have hated since day 1 (10 years ago). Couldn't be happier with the mod. Planning to drive my G37S as my fun car for at least another 10 years
