Re: Factory grille chrome plated

Okay I am going to be that guy. I think it looks great but maybe use some black contrast in the back to break up the chrome. It kind of looks like the grill from the model kits. Yes I am jealous my grill does not look that good lol

That looks great. It must have cost a fortune.

Re: Factory grille chrome plated

What do you have to do to a plastic grill to prepare it to receive chrome?

Very nice.

I guess they spray on copper or some other metal so they can attach the chrome?
