I agree, paint the last 2 on the bottom grille black.
As for the back, I like the second picture. Have you thought about painting the SS's orange to match also? That way the red and orange don't clash.

That last pic gets my vote, orange with black bow tie... looks great.

It looks really good. I do think it's a tad bit busy with the left over chrome on your lower grill. I say finish painting that black, it will clean things up, because that's what's making it busy, that and your turn signals. Everything is so orientated on your car which makes your turn signals stick out like a sore thumb, find some that are clear, or smoked. I love your car for sure! Boomer Sooner by the way!

I like the chrome on the bottom grill, it balances out the bow tie ... Good Job !!!

I wouldn't have painted it red. Maybe black with some chrome somewhere in there. Overall the car is a beauty

Booooosted.

I believe I know what to do.
Paint the rest of the lower grill black, and go ahead with the painting of the hood spears to match the grill. I too had a concern that it just didn't 'work' together. But to see it in person is another thing. Plus, once I get the spears done, it will mesh nicely. I may paint the orange part around the front turn lights to black. Not sure. Need photoshop. |

and I get a pm requesting my opinion on this....
lol its different. to start. right now, with just the heritage grille painted, its a little much. now, if the lower grille could match it in some way, I think it might balance out. that being said, maybe a touch here or there of orange on the rims would also help balance it out. or even maybe the mail slot being painted to match as well. might have to see a couple photoshops of it first. next.... I love the zip ties on the bowtie badge. however, your badge is not level and thus, looks horrendous. ok, not horrendous, but it stands out (to me at least). another thing that stands out to me, (and its not just your car that does this) is the lower grille. and when I say it stands out, it literally looks like its standing out in front of the car. head on, it looks great, but from any angle, it just sticks out too much. other than that... pm sent

Hey PQ.... first off... I just wanted to say I always thought your ride was one of the best looking on the site. Love the color combo, and the wheels are siiiiick.
But that being said..... I dont like the solid IO grille. I think it's a bit overdone and throws off the agressive look of the grille. HOWEVER... I see where you are going with it, wanting to tie-in the IO interior with the exterior, as the hood spears are not as strong (visually). So rather than keep the whole Heritage Grille orange, I would paint the outside of it black, leaving an IO outline around the grille. Then of course, paint the remaining 2 chrome pieces of the lower grille black as well. I took the liberty of photoshopping it for you.

May I make another suggestion that would tie it in? Besides orange gill stripes Anyhow, my suggestion is leave the grill as is, but paint the inner diameter around the front bumper opening. If you have a clear bra similar to mine it is the horizontal surfaces that are not covered with the clear bra. I believe that would bring all that inferno orange together better than the black. It would have a similar effect as putting an orange outline around the edge of a rim.
