Default Looking for Chrome Grille Inserts

I would like to change the grill inserts on the front of my 77 from black plastic to chrome. Does anyone know a place here in Canada where they sell them ? :steering:

I have wanted the same thing for awhile now but have not found any. A few other forum members have used chrome paint and painted the front edge of there old grilles and it looked real good. I was thinking about doing that myself. If you find a place that sells the please post it as I might want to buy some.

I forgot about yours. I have been meaning to ask you if you made those or not? Or did you have someone else make them? I've been thinking of having someone make me a set of metal grilles that will fit a stock bumper. Then have the front edge chromed and the rest painted black.

Yes, I made it one piece at a time and completed the modifications to the fiberglass nose. Lots of hours . . . :banghead: :banghead:

Sad part is, if I go with a full tilt nose, I'm going to build another one. :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
