On a PW car, several people have painted white the perimeter of both parts of the aero grill. I think it looks great.

Do they get it painted or vinyl wrapped? Do you have any pictures? What do you think about the whole thing being white?

Vinyl wrap would be a great way to go, it would at least be easily reversable if you decided you didn't like it. I would like some pics too.

I had the grill surround painted to match on mine. Definitely gives it more of a factory look than the black surround


if you are talking about the honeycomb area that could be an interesting idea. Not sure anyone would really look forward to doing that in vinyl though

I'd like to see the honeycomb whited out, but definitely not a practical vinyl job. A careful spray can application would be the way to go, I'd say.
