thinkin about painting

my fender flares on my '00 ZR-2

they are the factory gunmetal gray color, but thinkin about sanding them down and paintin them victory red to match the truck...

but one of my concerns is should i paint the grille victory red also or leave it gunmetal and black to match the bumpers

or should i just leave it all gunmetal?

on the highriders, everything is red the trim around the grille the front and rear bumper covers and the fender flares.

i may not have fully made myself clear when i said paint the grille i was really meaning the trim around the grille

heres a highrider

thats kinda how i want mine to look like i would love to have highrider front and rear bumper cover just so i can have factory foglights...

the only thing im worried about now is after taking a closer look at my Z is that part of the front fender flares come down to the bumper cover and if i paint them red i think it would look goofy but if i dont paint them red it would look goofy also...

probably just gonna repaint the same color to keep it easy

im stickin with the gunmetal flares. I agree with Merritt it gives the truck alil contrast in the colors.

my buddy told me today he said "if you wanted everything the same color you should've just got a Highrider or a regular 4wd s10."

I got some plans in mind anyways!!! COLOR MATCHING FTW
