Looks good. did you paint the whole front grill, or just the chrome trim?

Looks very good! I havent seen the newer models with blacked out headlamps yet. It makes a notable difference. Nice to see that I'm not the only Aveo tuner in SoCal.

what kind of paint did you use? what prep work do you have to do?

I can't speak for Israel, but when I blacked out my badges and grill (last week), I took off the front bumper and removed both parts of the grill to paint the chrome. For the front badge, I taped it off and carefully painted it. And for the back badge, I removed it by heating up the badge with a hair-dryer and taking a piece of floss and cutting the glue.

To paint them, I used Plasti-dip for a more flat black look.

The only reason why I even guessed that in the first place is that my dad took all of his emblems off of his Pontiac, and couldn't get the front emblem off. He quickly learned that it was bolted on. So from that, I figured that all of GM's 2009 (and some older years too) models had the front emblem bolted on. Kinda the same thing with the GM eblem on both sides of every GM car for the last few years.
