I read Woody finding in the other forum about the free chrome grills.
I got a pair of free chrome grills today, thanks for woody.
It took me two solid hours to remove the kidney, and 30 more mins to take out the black inserts. Didnt break anything but my fingers are hurt. The things are pretty tight.
It looks much better with the Chrome kidney& grill now. Posted a before / after picture here.
