Default Finished Chroming my Grill

Well, i took some advice from the board and decided to spend an hour and a half taking the paint off of my Grill and making it chrome instead of paying 250 dollars for the SD one. LOVE IT! looks so great when its all chrome. I used finger nail polish remover, steel wool, and a knife, and it looks great, I would suggest this to anyone who wants their grill chrome, Ill take pics when i get home from school!

I felt so good when i walked out of my school building at about 6 o'clock to see that stunning chrome grill go along with the car, then the satisfaction of knowing i did it myself instead of paying 250 bucks for the Sport Desing grill
