That looks great. I'm assuming you removed it to paint it? If so, did you have any problems with the clips breaking?

Looks fantastic!! IMHO, these grills (regardless of the package) look so much better PTM than with the gaudy, factory surround.

Thanks bud. I let the body shop guy remove the grill. He didn't break any. Had I done, oh Lord.

Looks way better. That just might be the next color choice I'd get too.

Any thought on photo-shopping the center section of that grill red too, and see what you think? It is a personal preference thing, but I think it would be a further improvement, but to each his own.

Yeah. Even though my PS skills ain't too skippy, I can tell enough from this that I believe it would look even better all red, too.

actually dewser, I was thinking about just the center, and leaving an upper and lower set of "teeth" in the OEM color. Or maybe the teeth section in a black.
