thats what i plan on doing.
looks SWEET :thup:
aluminum does look really nice polished up, but not nearly as nice as a chromed steel grill. im going to chrome two grills eventually

if you dont mind, how much did it cost?

It cost me $885.00 for everything. It would have been right at $800.00 but they had to do a little extra work on getting the headliner trim slick because it had some big pits and also the grill had a couple large pits so both those were dipped a few more times.
