I have completed only one, so I decided to keep it in storage in case something were to happen to the one on my truck. The bow tie was the only part that was rough, so I painted it Red. But if I ever come across a nice Gold Bowtie, I will have to put that one instead, maybe.
My stock grill has broken mounting tabs so it flops around alot. All the other little chrome pieces are in great shape. The Chrome grille trim pieces i ordered from rock auto and they look really good and came with the flat fasteners that slide into the tracks.
