DAMN.. that looks awesome! Any idea where he found that chrome edging?? Alloy.. my color too Thanks Chavalo.
thats the same chrome trimming i got and exactly how i have my grill. the one in that pic that chavalo posted looks like its the 1/4" trim. mine is 1/8th so its a bit more subtle. mine is just the chrome edge trim and pony, no PP. i got it at pep boys for like $15. its a roll of a couple feet. its flexible and has an adhesive back side that sticks very strong (3M). this wasnt my original idea though. another member awhile back gave me this tip since he did it to his and i thought it looked great.

Right on Sancho! They'd probably have it at like Kragen? What exactly am I looking for though? Don't want to go in and look through the whole store and ask for some kind of "chrome trim"

here you go dude. this is the exact product i got. it comes in 1/8, 1/4 and 3/4 widths. i'm sure many auto parts stores will have it. just make sure you clean really well the area you apply it to so that it sticks strong. i used dish soap.

BTW, i've added much more goodies to my ride since i first made my sig. i plan on giving my ride a photo shoot this weekend which has been well overdue. i'll make sure to take good shots of the grill also along with my interior goodies .

haha. thanks pascal!!!!! and it's a GT BUMPER WITH A V6 GRILLE NOT A V6 BUMPER WITH A GT GRILLE!!!!

But I've actually seen someone trim their grille a bit and make it fit. How hard is that going to be? I'm assuming it's going to be pretty hard since Pascal said leave it to the pro's..

Sorry for the confusion...

It's actually even worse trying to fit a V6 grille on a GT and CS bumper, since the sixer is smaller.
You'll have nasty gaps.
GT grilles on V6 require a lot of labor because it's bigger and the trimming is delicate. A heat gun is welcome here.

How 'bout the Bullit grille and cut what's needed for the PP? You'll prolly have to make some brackets...

Hope that helps.
