Looks really good, and makes a huge difference. I did mine last year. Didn't realize how faded it really was until I removed it and took off the Ford emblem. Wow!

Nice it is the little things that make all the difference. My grill is looking pretty dull maybe I'll do something similar.

Looks mean. The color makes it look a lot more aggressive I think.
