Default Considered painting/wrapping their engine grate ?

Hi - has anyone wrapped/painted the rear deck engine grate / grill in black ? Similar to the early 911's and some of the newer ones like the 911r ?
Any pictures ?

I plastidip mine. I love the look too.

There are some who've done this as I've seen the posts, buy IMO it doesn't look good. It looks like you're missing a color matched cover that should be there. Looks OK on a black car.

That looks good - I think I will go forward. My car is meteor grey - so on the darker side already.

Petz - you are also right - but that is why you can do it with a wrap or plastidip, and it is completely reversible.

I like it sort of gives it that Bumble Bee look saying watch your P's and Q's or you will get stung!
