My front Grille completed...
Hello all I finally got my front lower grille looking the way I wanted instead of that dead black on the lower part.. Here are some garage shots at night, I'll take some daylights later to get a better look at what it does to the whole front appearance..I really like it with the matching silver and chrome strips on the bottom.
I already know some don't like the grille but overall, what do you guys think???

The lower part I did myself. painted to match the top grille, and added chrome strips. Brightened up the front end a lot. I can't wait to take a daylight pic. from a distance..

I like it. It matches the top grill, but is there anyway to remove the old grill behind it. It's probably not worth the trouble, but small detail and it would look cleaner.

What old grille are you talking about? The bottom comes in three sections, the center and the two end pieces.. If you are suggesting just to have the chrome with no grille, there would be nothing there but three wholes...Ugh...and don't forget the OT sensor mounts in the L/H section...
The whole point of this was to color match the bottom with the top and add chrome so it all blends together instead of that dark break at the bottom.
makes the front end look bigger.. I'll take a sunlight distance pic and post it thursday.
