so i finally made a decision and i blacked out my grills. i love the way they look. i think they look better than the updated nose panel black grills. makes the car look alot more aggressive too. blends in well with the mouldings. tell me what ya think

Guys, what do you think about black kidneys on Calypso?! YES or NO?! (big fan of blacked grills here...but I am not sure 'cause of the color of my car...)

I may have to see it to know. I can't imagine it would be bad

**daki77** · 09-05-2006, 02:45 PM

Here's an example (I hope that the owner of the car in the pic won't mind...):

i might be the only one to say it, but i do not like black kidneys. nothing against you, just the black kidneys.

**Dudesky** · 09-05-2006, 05:30 PM

^^^I remember you saying that some time ago, and I agree. To each his own tho
