Yeah that looks nice!

 

If you pop the lens off your headlight, there is easy access to remove the reflector. I just used some chrome vinyl wrap from the autoparts store to cover it up, then re-installed it. Then slightly tinted the lens.

 

Ooops, my mistake! :-)
I haven't done anything, they are OEM what I know.

 

I was asking OP this question which he has answered in post 24 not you

 

Then you have to use quote, as the question came right after my post I figured you looked at my post. :-)

 

So after someone backed into the Jag in the parking lot, I decided to update the mounting method for this grill.


Some drawbacks from the first iteration:
- The lower grill has almost no support and will split over time from even the slightest bottoming out
- The upper grill is a huge pain to remove with all the glue/epoxy around it. It also doesn't have much support, but it stayed intact.

With the bumper being repaired/painted, I gave the guy my faded hood vents and side grills to repaint also. Came out pretty good but the color doesn't seem right?


This time, for the lower grill, I decided to mount it directly on top of the OEM one. This will give it the support/rigidity it desperately needs! Got rid of the double-sided tape, added some black trim around the whole thing, a few zip ties, and its done.


For the upper, I secured some L-brackets all around using double-sided tape. No more glue/epoxy. Then some nuts, bolts, spacers for the grill. In the future it will be easy to remove the grill and even add some support braces behind the brackets.




Most of the time spent was lining up the grill, measuring to make sure it was centered, then tracing the location of each bracket to make sure it went though one of the diamond holes in the grill.

Final product came out nice and should last much longer:

 

Very nice

 

Tinted headlights, good choice. Now to subdue the chrome washer trim pieces.

 

That was an old pic. I only put the tint on because the headlights look so out of place and shiny with the OEM grill.

I've since taken it off and re-finished the lens. With this grill the headlights don't look so out of place.

But yeah the chrome lids did stand out... in a 'twinkle in your eye' kind of way.
