DIY chrome grill?
I see them sell these chrome grill kit on ebay. Saw a couple CL member have this, how do they look? Should I just buy it on ebay or can I get parts locally?

I did mine on Saturday before Jay's BBQ meet. I just took a razor blade and shaved off the paint on the front of the grill. Be carefull, but man it was easy. Took me about 15 - 20 minutes. Looks real good and very clean on the edges, since I only wanted the front portion of the grill chrome showing and the rest to stay painted.
