Default 98-00 Chrome OEM Style Grille (After Market)

Hey I have an After Market Chrome Grille (Plastic). It is After Market not OEM DIY Chrome. It is is great shape besides a few scratches and the Black Paint in the corners is chipping off. I bought this back in May for $90 with the Emblem.

I also have a OEM 98-2000 Grille that I tried to Chrome, you can see the results below. It needs a bit of work in order to make it look nice.

$40 for the After Market Grille Shipped *SOLD*
$40 for the Failed Chrome Job OEM Grille Shipped
$25 for the Emblem Shipped (The one you see on the Failed Chrome Grille below...)
Here are some Pictures

After Market Grille...











Here are Small Scratches on two of the Fins





Here is a Close Up of the Emblem



OEM Failed Chrome Grille...

Here are Pictures of the OEM Grille that I tried to Chrome. Unfortunately I stripped off the chrome in a couple areas, and I didn;t manage t oget the Paint Remover off Before it Hardened and stuck to the Grille. I'm sure if anyone is willing to put some work on it they can make it look great...

Looks decent from the front but there is still bits of black paint that needs to be removed.





Here is where the Paint Remover took off the chrome



And here is the back, still covered with the Paint Remover...

I think so, but still not buyers .
I also have a OEM 98 Grille that I started to DIY Chrome. It still has the Goof Off on it, but I will probably sell it for $40 shipped as well. I will get pictures of it when I can.
