Ok

Thanx guys, I'm leaving it like that for now.
I bought a chrome trim tape at pepboys for $5.00
I'm amazed how good it looks. Just had to cut it into shape, which took some precision.
Peace

I'm sure there is a lot of different types out there. I dont' think it matters which one you get. They also had the roll of chrome side molding which was basicly the same thing just a lot bigger and wider.
Good luck.

How does the tape look close up? I put it on today and it looks great from a few feat away but up close there are a lot of little imperfections. I think I am going to have the grill actually chromed fby a local shop, I think it would look great.

Impressive. I always liked the chrome grill on the 95-99 GXE/GLE's better then the SEs. Now I like your grill better.

I took my time cutting out the templates. My imperfections are minimal, and only I notice them. I'll redo that part, if it starts to bother me.
peace
