I WILL TELL IF YOU GUYS PROMISE NOT TO LAUGH, I SPENT ABOUT 2 HOURS ON THE GRILL I USED A BLOWDRYER, AND A RAZOR BLADE........... I WAS UPSET WHEN I WENT TO A CUSTOM AUTO SHOP OUT HERE AND I WAS TOLD THAT A CHROME GRILL WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE BY HIM AND IT WOULD RUN ME ABOUT $350.00!!!!! I THOUGHT IT WOULD LOOK NICE, BUT IT DIDNT SEEM RIGHT TO SPEND THAT MUCH FOR A GRILL I KNEW I COULD DO FOR ALOT CHEAPER, I DID THE SAME THING I DID TO THIS GRILL THAT I DID TO MY VIGOR BEFORE MY TL, AND EVEN THEN I WAS PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY ONE WITH THE GRILL THAT WAY, WELL I HAVE TOLD ENOUGH, HERE IT GOES....... GO TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND GET CHROME DOOR STIPPING( THE STUFF THAT GOES ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR DOORS TO PROTECT THEM FROM DENTS) THEN TAKE THE GRILL OFF, HEAT THE DOOR STRIPPING AND PROCEDD TO MAKE THE CUTS FOR THE RIGHT SIZES, CUT THE BOTTOM OF THE STRIPPING ON AN ANGLE SO IT APPEARS TO FLOW INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE CHROME LIP ON THE GRILL, THATS IT...ALL YOU GUYS HAVE TO DO AFTER THAT IS SEND ME SOME PICTURES SO I CAN SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, I HOPE THIS WAS HELPFULL FOR YOU GUYS GOOD LUCK AND LOOK FOWARD TO SEEING SOME CRHOME GRILLS SOON

okay so.. how do you get it to stick on the grill? you just heat the door stripping and apply it to the grill? the best way is to cut the stripping before heating it, right? does this stuff come off when you wash your car? that looks dope though! but mines a 2.5 so the bar goes sideways hmmm

THE CHROME STRIPS ITSELF HAVE ADHESIVE ON IT ON THE INSIDE, IT DOESNT COME OFF WHEN WASHING THE CAR, I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO CARWASHES AND GET IT DETAILED REGULARY, IT DOESNT COME OFF, THE ENGINE HEAT WILL MAKE THE GLUE BOND MORE, AND THE STRIPS WILL MOLD AND CURVE NATURALLY UNDER HEAT THIS IS WHY IT WORKS SO GOOD. IT WOULD BE EASIER TO DO ON A 2.5 I HAD A VIGOR AND THE BARS WENT HORIZONTALLY IT LOOKED AWSOME, GOOD LUCK SEND ME A PICTURE WHEN YOU ARE DONE I REALLY WANT TO SEE IT, IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE MAIL ME THE GRILL AND ILL DO IT FOR A SMALL PRICE, HEEHEE

The grille looks awesome...I think I'll try that whenever I can get a few minutes...I was thinking of dynamating my front doors this weekend...very original! Again Great job, looks very evenly spaced. looks kinda like the Lexus look
