Paint the grill or not?
So I picked up my brand spankin new bumper today and its normal black plastic...now when I get it painted should I paint the gille part like it is on my car now or get them to leave it black like it woulda came stock?
mouldings will stay white, front lip will be black, rear lip is black and side skirts are black...possible cf hood for the spring

black grille... I nearly killed the guy who painted my NEW OEM bumper all silver w/o masking the grille. I was like "are you an idiot???? do you not know what a Civic is supposed to look like. dumb****" he couldn't appologise fast enough, and THEN he wanted to paint the grille black!! then I really wanted to kill him... I chewed him out awhile longer about paint thickness and paint chipping. My grille is still silver, I haven't gotten around to picking up ANOTHER new oem bumper

If you go to a doctor with two fingers chopped off, do you expect to have to tell him to put the index finger next to your thumb, and the middle finger in the middle?? or would you expect that to be understood?

Maybe I'll go tomorrow and kill him haha all he was doing was saving 20 minutes of masking... cuz GOD forbid he spends 20 extra minutes doing a GOOD job on a $3000 repair.
