Give me a shout tomorrow and I'll get you Jack's info I've hung out with him a few times while he's done gold plating and black chrome...he always bitches about how messy it is to do the black chrome lol, but it looks really cool when it's all done IMO. I'm not a fan of the gold in most cases, but the black always looks good to me

Its a Strut Wear Grille. They are really spendy. That one was north of 5K. I've decided to switch gears and have one custom made by them. I made some edits to this Photo to show what I'm having them do. What do you guys think?

The first photo is their stock grille, the second one is the custom mock up.

I think it looks OK, but that's a lot of coin for something that's going to have bug guts all over it lol Do you have to get it with the company's logo in the middle, or can they delete that? I think it would look better either with a bowtie or no badge at all IMO.

I don't think I could spend $5k on a grill.
