Just my $.02
Is this what you're referring to? I spoke to our designer/owner and we're working on something, stay tuned...

As to your question we use adhesive promoter and 3m tape to permanently adhere it to the body over the stock grille. Nothing gets removed it's a very easy installation.

That looks even cheaper than the first one…...


Seriously, scrap this whole concept and come up with something simple and not so over done….

That just doesn't work no matter what color it's painted.

The design on the grill looks too similar to Chrysler Logo. Why even have a design flourish there? It's a grill does't make any sense.

I think just the mesh would be better suited.

Sorry but you asked.....
Agree. It's like something you'd buy off the shelf at Pep Boys. How about matching spinner hubcaps? Absolutely tasteless.

We all need to appreciate the amount of effort and R&D our trusted vendors put forth that result in some of our favorite aftermarket mods.

This is not one of them.

I agree with the previous post that any further iterations of this particular design be scrapped. You just cannot polish a turd but thanks for trying.

I don't like the factory grille, but there's no way that would go on my C7. Not even if you paid me. Hideous was the first word that came to mind when I saw the pic.
