Did this to my car to make it look like the newer style. Bought 1/2" pvc long enough to go from grille emblem to end of grille. Saw in half on an angle,picture it,youll get the idea. Smooth out,measure it for fit,trim is necessary. Drill holes top and bottom of each piece on the ends. I recessed the holes for better fit. Use nylon zip ties and feed through.I used body filler to completely fill and smooth the holes. Sanded till flat. Apply chrome auto tape to entire piece. Zip tie to each end of grill align right. Not a full replica, but for about $4,its great. I also painted those ugly front pieces(se foglight location) black. Looks way better than before,and first glance you cant tell its age. I can post a pic if someone wants me to mail,or give a link.
