I finnally got rid of the damned chrome around the grill. Here ar some pics:

It looks like the Howell car from 04, but It is a Mica Black, so it has some metallic in it, It will be getting some clear coat to make it glossy instead of flat like it is in the pictures.

Did you pull the chrome pieces off to paint 'em? This is something I might consider doing seeing as how that's about the only piece of chrome on the car and it sticks out like hell.

Not bad. Of course, I'd never have to do that.

i tried to take mine off about 3 months after i got mine, i saw that stonebender's r/t bumper didn't have the chrome, but i couldn't get them off and i didn't wanna break them seeing as the car was brand new. How do u get them off??

you unscrew the black grills and then you take them apart

no

I just took a cloth and a small screwdriver, and CAREFULLY pryed them up until I could fit my finger in the gap then ran the screwdriver around them until they poped off. Taking off the grill doesn't accually do anything, because the chrome peice atach to the bumper and the grill. I'm going to wet sand them so I'll take some pictures then on how to do it.

i'm going off of how i took them of my stratus coupe.... its alot easier to pop the trim off if you have the grill off..... don't risk braking the clips that way...... of course this is if they are the same, which i don't see why not.

I guess you could do it that way, but your going to have to take the entire bumper off, the bottom two peices have that styrofaom shit behinde them.

mine are silver now, IMO it look MUCH better, the car kinda looks like it is retardedly smiling at you when they are black.

Looking forward to a little how-to though it should be pretty simple, just afraid to break something
