That's pretty nice. Might think about something like that myself since the chrome on my grill is bubbling and I want to replace it.

stock grille, no paint or cf.... I took the chrome off once, like I split the chrome piece from the plastic piece. It looked alright and kinda cool but, I'd stay stock. I put wire mesh behind mine, it was actually functional because i had no fan shroud but it also looked nice or at least interesting.

pinoyk20 · 11-20-2009, 11:16 AM

can you take off the chrome part? i thought its like a chrome coating? thanks

It is not one part , look at the grill from the back , between the fins , you will see that the chrome fronts snap onto the plastic backing
