I had thought about painting the hood vents on my SXT Plus, but some friends thought it might look cheesy. Instead I think I will paint the grill, but just the outside edge, not the entire rectangle like in the photo below. Any thoughts? I have red intake rings already installed and red hood pin cables as well. Figured a little touch more red would make it pop.
I'm partial to the silver inserts in the grille, because I like the retro look of the Challenger. I understand the look you're after & it will set it off and be unique. If you're not sure use red pinstripe tape, it comes in various widths. PlastiCote also offers that peel off spray paint but the weather would have to warm up.
