Thanks, looking bling.

looks like a walk hood badge. not really an "o". ...but a circle badge w/ the center black and wald written around it. been looking for a badge myself. just that i dont got wald parts.

i think the grille would look good w/out the badge. but the badge looks good w/ ur blitz grille. jus my opinion.

Dayuuuum. . . . .that chromed out grill looks freakin' money! Does anyone know who provides chroming services or a shop that offers a chromed OEM grill in exchange for the stocker? TIA.

I like the chromed stock grille. I may even consider that. It looks better than any of the aftermarket alternatives.
