I think JP was one of the first....he even went to the next level and murdered out the whole car......paint and all

Battle_Ravage

Yep, I think it went wheels, grilles, car, then lights.

It's getting redone VERY soon.

I'm trying to do the complete opposite by trying to find someone who can chrome my lower grille around the outside of it to match the upper grilles. If anyone knows a place shoot me a pm.

f3racer

Thanks guys. It cost 1.50 for the paint and 99 cents for the tape and some elbow grease

I don't even think it needs the painted chrome rings to be reinstalled. It looks good as is.

i agree, i might try and pull mine off today and see how it looks without them

Battle_Ravage

It looks better with the rings.

I like how it looks with just the rings too, but they don't stay in on their own.

I like the way you think.

I've been chrome plating hunting for months now.

I found a guy in Texas but he has never replied to my emails (though we've talked over the phone).

I simply bought some of that flexible stick on chrome from eBay (a couple bucks). It's not easy to do and chroming the perimeter of the lower grille would be better.

Ideally, we'd want someone to make the lower grille insert a little smaller, and then make a chrome ring that snaps into place (over it) just like the upper grilles are.

here it is with the rings back in.
