Hahaha.... Couldn't help but laugh at the pirate comment.

Nice job with the plastidip. I'm just wondering how long it will last. I've seen rocks chip these easily and expose the chrome.

E92? You know you can pop out the grill without doing anything with the bumper, as long as you're able to fit your fingers through the grill to reach the tabs.

Should of just spent 5-10$ more and bought a gloss black grill. Or matte black if thats what you prefer. Will be more durable and basically the same cost.

IMO, gloss black grill would set off the white exterior better than matte, but either would look good.

Good job on diy though. Looks like it came out pretty decent...
