I definitely like the look of the color-matched grille, but not enough to spend the cash having a body shop properly match it. They would probably charge a lot because, although my paint is in good shape for its age, it has surely faded significantly over the last 18 years... so it would take them a long time to match it properly for such a small part.

So I will put the factory grille back on this weekend and throw the other one in the trash. Can somebody tell me how/where to obtain a proper flat badge? I don't want to get another hood star only to have it get ripped off again by some punk.
