If your state doesn't require a front license plate - you can bring out that center grill almost even with the sides. Just use U brackets to bring it out about two inches. Looks really nice.

There is no exposed chrome edges on the center grill as there are on the outer grills.

Nutsy,
Get a picture of an original to see just what surfaces show chrome; if that's important to you. It's really not very much of the grille.

The original center grille was painted pot-metal...no chrome on it.
