Correct me if I'm wrong but is there 2 different types of Junction Produce grilles? There is the one that most people have which is billet with the frame which is a direct bolt on. But I read somewhere a long time ago there is another JP grille that has no frame. Apparently this one you need to modify your original frame to make it work. Does anyone on this forum have this grille?


I didn't see it on JP's website

out of all the grills I've seen here, I like the chrome JP grill
it looks like it has class.
I think it looks like it belongs on an E class MBZ

okay. so out of everybody who did this DIY, i think it took me the longest! well about 4 hours.. but what's gay is that the previous owner had the whole grill painted glossy black, so i basically had to reinvert everything back to chrome, even the outside trim.

and i just want to correct everyone about using a razor. it doesn't scratch up the chrome unless you go crazy and dig deep into it. i used NOTHING but a razor to chrome my grill after finding out that the paint on the grill was hard to take off since it had a base and clearcoat ( i waited 30 mins after using citristrip and it did nothing cept for the sides ).

once again, i used no stripper, just a razor. here's how it turned out

from this:

You have a license plate bracket, but put the plate in the front window?

Beats me. Front bumper never had holes drilled for the license plates itself, only the holder. I'm trying to find the right screws for them then it'll be put on.

umm.. is that not what those metal tabs on the holders are for? I am pretty sure that is where the license plate screws onto.
