Thanks man, Most certainly! Important to note that to get the final I did the following...

1. Sanded the outer grille
2. Cleaned with rubbing alcohol
3. Primed with Adhesive Promoter (2 light coats)
4. Painted with Krylon Satin Black for Plastic (3 coats)
5. Painted one last layer within 2 hours of last Krylon coat with Rustoleum High Perfomance Wheel Matte Black (for plastic and metal)

This gave it a beatiful matte finish in the end that has held up all day in the rain today, since I let it cure for about 10 hours before install this morning.

Allso the fit is a bit tricky what i did was attach all of the wire ties very loosely until I got it positioned just right and then i tightened while holding it in place, I found that by tightening the bottom section first (after a couple tries) it worked best to position the top exactly in place where I wanted it.
