another cheap mod: black out grill chrome
I'm kinda "meh" on the two small chrome strips on the LT grille, so I had to see the look without them. So I used a tip we found a few years ago on the honda forums, use electrical tape!
1. alcohol the strip 2. start on one end and stretch the tape a bit. 3. smooth and clean The great thing about this tape is it looks so good some never remove it! and it lasts at least a year if done right... enjoy - posting to add content, not opinion...

Not bad. Looks pretty good. Still though, I am happy with the way my 2LT grille looks. I will leave that alone in terms of any mods to it......

Looks good, I hate chrome on modern cars. I think the SS has two little chrome strips under the lower LED's, they will need to go.

I used a 3m black electric tape (just to test it) on the chrome surround of the black bowties, surprisingly even though I absolutely hate chrome (personal pref), the chrome promotes the black bowtie itself and does look good (for me). |

So I like the black out of the grill after doing the above, so I went a bit more professional. Now the upper chrome strips are gone as well, using this 3M 1080 stuff and a heat gun.
Elec tape gone.  link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o02_s00

I was going to do your cool mod, but then i noticed that the chrome strips can be snap out of place? Can this be done without breaking anything? |

Just an suggestion, blackout tape from pep boys never peels off on its own but can be removed by you if desired.
It may be a 3m product, I cant remember, but back when I owned a 95 impala everyone used this stuff to black out chrome window trim.
