Did you guys see the recent post of the real chrome grill?
Someone just stripped the black paint of the grill and it was chrome underneath. Anyone else try this?
Please post some pics of that

I did it and it looks great. The chrome door edge trim looks good from a distance but not up close. If you remove the paint correctly the grill then looks like it was that way from the factory. I just removed it from the ribs but if you wanted you could make the whole grill chrome.

Hduece, the reason I asked for the pics was because I thought of the lines being too skinny when you remove the door trim. I wanted to see it up close to make sure the chrome lines look good before I strip the paintg
