Question about Carson Grill insert

Well, I am the proud owner of the last Carson Tuned painted Grill in America. Finally got it painted and installed, but now I am unsure if i should get the chrome painted also. What say you?

And one final question. How in the hell to I reattach these little bastards to the weather stripping. It is freaking impossible. I even went as far as asking Luis at Carson and he did not know how to either.

except for the grill, it looks like every other silver 2IS out there. I will post some when I get my summer wheel/tire set on.

I've used needle nose pliers before, stick one end in the hole and stretch out the other side and it should pop right in. You are correct though, by hand, it's very difficult.

Hopefully this will help you, give it try and don't pull too hard,
