    Congrats on the G8!

    Came out good! Plasti Dip ..gotta love it!

    One thing about your kidney grills.. you could have just pulled them out instead of spraying them while they were still in the fascia. Looks like you did a clean job.

    Next time .. Let them sit in the sun for a few minutes ..Take your thumb and middle finger put them through the honey combs spaced apart a little and give it a nice tug and the whole grill usually pops out.

    Yeah it feels like the whole thing wants to break in half. I freaked myself out when I first took mine off.
