where did you order the cl style grill and how much
haha, cool man. Congrats on your purchase. Let us know how your porterfield buffer works out!
I got the grill from Ebay for $214 and the flat emblem for $27 (shipping included for both).
Thanks for the congrats!
Thanks for the congrats!
Out Of Control!!
And to think, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Looks like we'll be getting another commission check soon. 
BTW, I even ordered the Chrome Gear Frame. Problem was the design is flat and not curved like the console, thus leaving a deep gap on each side. That got sent back but my quest continues.

Cohiba,
With a black car, you should consider getting smoked tails lights like these...

Since I'm going for the bling-bling effect, the chrome rings will stay on 
I do a lot of recruiting and the chrome on black really makes people say WOW 
The smoked taillights look nice though. I would like to make them a bit darker since the car is black. Can anyone recommend someone to do it for me here in So Cal?
Gracias Amigos!
