Well, I posted awhile ago about doing some subtle customization on my bonneville. I decided to paint my grilles. Here are the before & after (respectively):

Well, you know, I was thinking chrome, but in my experience in the past with chrome paints on plastic, they don't ever turn out the way you want them to. Besides, I think with how far back in they are, chrome just would not have stuck out as much, if I could have made it 'true' chrome looking.
