appearance

I have seen pictures of multiple people that have made their own front grilles, honeycomb style, and am wondering if any of them have made any threads about the project. I am wanting to do this myself but would like a little direction before I start cutting and buying materials. HELP ME OUT

I have been thinking about using platidip to blacken the handles but I am unsure whether or not it will hurt accessibility or perhaps the keyless entry. Has anyone done something like this or similar?
