WOW! I didn't think this thread was loved so much and was still going!! LOL

Thanks for all the compliments everyone. As for the mod holding up... I hit a yellow canary bird going up the highway. Didn't realize it till some girl at the gas pump asked me if it was real with a disgusted look on her face. I had no clue what she was talking about until I walked up front and saw it lodged up in there pretty good. Needless to say...the grill held up without any damage. This happened over last summer and it's still looking great today.

I'm gonna wash it up good this week and detail it and get it ready to sell. I'll take a fresh updated pic to show everyone how well it's held up. Thanks again for all the compliments!

Default a question

It does look super, but how has it held up after having to clean the bugs off of it and out of the grill inserts? No issues with the insert stability, given the epoxy, I'm guessing? And how have the multiple coats of paint held up on both the grill and the inserts?

looks great. hope it holds up in the sun without any clear coat. might have to rip my grill off and do this. Why not just take the plastic tabs off by hand though?
