Cool.....

Hows it going to attach?  Mold it on, Im guessing?

There will be two options. One will bolt on and the other will be a mold on which will be cheaper

I like the "mold on" idea,but,on the leading edge of the car,anything can happen and it may be easier to swap it out if it's a bolt on.Buuuut,a mold on grill is a lot smoother.It would have that "molded on" look. LOL !!!

True the front does take some abuse with rock chips, bugs and what not. After 5 years mine has a few rock chips and I will probably repaint it soon. And my headlight buckets too.

Well here its is ready for paint. It looks almost the same as the other pictures but it now has 3 layers of high build urethane primer which I block sanded down to 600 grit for some paint. Smooth and straight :D
