Outstanding! Of course I will have to explain it to my wife that it is all your fault when I put a black chrome grill on mine!

Very nice looking!

you should paint the emblem black, but just the gold part.

If you add the whole black chrome package (which I did on mine), the effect is quite nice.

personally i like your painted grill better, but between the black chrome and the original grill, the black chrome looks awesome. and i agree, you ought to consider painting the bowties black.

I agree on the bowties being black, I painted mine flat black and it looks AMAZING with the black chrome!!

when you added the handles did you do it yourself or take it to a body shop? if you did it how hard was it?

I took it to the shop for them to do, I was buried in work at the time. BUT, the instructions that come with the handles is quite well detailed. I don't think it would have given me much of a problem to do. Again, the instructions are very well detailed, even telling you which tools you'll need.
