Hi guys, In my build thread I talked about how I bought some new parking lenses and headlight bezels, but when I removed the factory grille it broke all to pieces. They had jb welded it in numerous places.

So, I ordered a new grille last night. But I got to looking at the old one. It has the small chrome pieces on the 4 corners and it has 2 removable face plates (that are painted red).

Does the new grille come with these already? I cant tell by the pic.

Heres what I'm talking about.

small chrome pieces

They make one with black trim?

That grille was the only one that was offered for that year and dual headlights. But I didnt think about the other pieces too...

Well I just looked on the site, and since they sell the face plates for about $50 each, I doubt they come on the grille.

Dammit. The previous owner put a screw through one of the face plates and it looks tacky...

But I'm not going to spend another $100 on face plates right now

Just to clear this up, the grille (repro) from classicparts does not have the face plates, but it does have the small chrome pieces on all sides. Pretty good fitment.

i'd recommend the grille

Classic Parts is a good place to purchase these resto parts as well! They, too, like LMC are local for me and we actually hold quite a few club meetings up in the Classic Parts "showroom". Nice people! :waytogo:

Do you slide your face plates in under the chrome or how does that work?

I've been doing comparos before ordering anything since I learned of classic parts, and in a lot of instances, they are a little cheaper than LMC for equal or slightly better quality.
