Interesting, interesting. It looks like these are just painted chrome grilles. I don't have a problem with that but I feel like you could just get a local body shop to do the same thing for less (what with the GBP conversion and shipping). Also, if not done correctly, I think this would be prone to chipping. I had my headlight and taillight rings color-coded but those are easy to remove and repaint if necessary. The grille, not so much.

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer; I would be very interested in the quality and longevity of this. Given a choice, however, I'd choose a part that hasn't been resprayed.

3M vinyl wrap should hold up better than paint on the grille
