You're clearly an imbecile. Your grammar, denial of factual research, and hypocrisy, encapsulate your inability to embrace reality.just take care of them and they will be fine im sure some will chime and b***h about the fact that arnt legit wheels and that buying them puts legit companies out of business so there did for them lol but seriously just take care of them and they will be fine...and on another note lethal6 your are a genius for calling dude out on the wires ngk or run freaking old wire idc what the numbers are im not running old as sh*t wires.
You are implying that I'm complaining. I am not.wanna b**** some more ill gladly listen....
You didn't offend me at all. And I appreciate the apology. It was kind of silly for either of us to get into the argument. I fully understand and appreciate your sense of car and attention to detail with maintaining an extremely healthy car. I wish I had the fortitude for such meticulous maintenance.you know sorry for the double post but im gonna be the bigger person here and take the above comment back because i really not saying anything you have said or shown is wrong nor am i going to sit here and tell anyone what is right or wrong or that they have to do something its just simpily my opinion im veryannal when it comes to my cars extremely noone works on but me and it has always been that way i dont trust shops even though there are some very good ones out there all this is coming from someone who givigs his car a complete tune up every two oil changes not because i have to but because i know its done and all is good i change timing belts every 40000 miles just so i know i have nothing to worry about and the only oem parts i dont use are my ngk plugs and wires everything else i go to the dealer for so ill stop here and sincerely apologize for offending you ek forever guy....

@OP: Regarding the grill, find a nice local auto body shop to paint the trim. Remove the screws that hold the trim piece and just ask them to paint it with the proper paint code for taffeta. (Taffeta White NH-578)
You'll be a lot happier with a professional job. Buying the automotive paint and clear coat would run you around $60, that's what it cost me a few years ago. A shop should only charge you ~$50-80 and they'll probably do a lot better job than you will.
