    Did you get my friend's email address that I pm'd and emailed you? He's got payment ready. How long do you think it will be until you have one done and can send finished pics?

    Here are some pics of what i have that you all have been asking for .. one is almost done i have 1 person inline for it , waiting to here back from him Ken your friend Chris. Then i will ask in the order of responces
    As i said 1 is almost done the other is in the works i wil be finnishing up this week these pics dont so any justice sun not out today .
    I show in some of the pics the back areas that i reinforce with a plastic epoxy , The look is neet and a must for this old of a plastic part .
    As for the colors the descusion has not seem to have got a difinative awnser , So this is what i used on my Car and the last few grills i have done! Just like the Black front center lower lip in the first pic ,the finished one is painted black the next one will be silver as i have seen them both ways, does not seen to be a standard ??
    I like the silver look all around with the black is a much cleaner look once installed in the car , i will post that pic when done , Las pic is of 2 i did a while back both ways.
