Chrome hood scoop grille insert I've seen people asking where to find the chrome hood scoop grille insert...
From what I understand afterthoughts use to have one, but stopped selling. Took me a half hour and a couple bucks to make mine...
I actually did this awhile back, but am just beginning to post pics on the forum ...

There are 4 (if I remember correctly) tabs on the top and 4 on the bottom. I used a screw driver and very carefully released one tab at a time. The tabs will want to reattach while you are trying to release the next one so its sorta tricky.

i popped out four of the tabs, two top two bottom, then pushed the side that i had popped out into my scoop, and that basially forced out the other side. after i sprayed it i did clear coat it and not only did it make it look better, it didnt chip off or faid (sp?) ill post pics when i get home, since then tho i have just taken it out completely, i a fan of gaping holes lol

My inspiration for the grille insert (though his is from afterthoughts)... I love this car! I want to do the Halo's and Stripes. I also want to do the gutter guard inserts but havent had the time to remove the bumper yet.

great alternative, the hood I got was missing the insert, so I was looking for the chrome one, but had no luck, guess it is back to the dealer for a black one and paint.
