I thought about doing that a while ago. Now I know how it looks like.

It looks like you have no grille on right now... but the "A" is somehow afixed to something. I'm sure it looks nice in person tho.

How much does the body shop charge you for lil paint job like that?

Is there a way to paint the grille Chrome?
Just dip it into Chrome?
