I’ve been meaning to get to the grille. It’s been haggard since I’ve owned it, the factory tape on the blue divider stripe has been cracked and deteriorating, and the surrounding trim has been dented and dinged up.
The trim from Classic Industries showed up (they were the only ones with all four pieces in stock) and it happened that I was out on standby for work today. I had some leftover Argent Silver from the wheels and I had run across some Blue Metallic earlier this week that I deemed close enough.
While the phone continued to not ring, I ended up respraying the grille and headlight trim, the blue divider stripe, and put on the trim. It ain’t perfect since the PO clearly had some “misadventures” with minor front fender lip involvement (nothing noticeable without staring at it for a while) but some twisting, bending and “hand palm adjustment “ of the cheap trim, it didn’t end up too bad…good enough for who it’s for anyway.
