How did you do that Eric and what was the cost?

What have you done in the before photo? Is that chrome molding between the grills?

Total Cost Troy $239.68 for both Grilles, Chrome surround not needed for lower grille as it stays there when removing lower grille. Never did like the Silvery look and did not want to paint
Lol, I was toying with the idea of putting a Chrome pinstripe between the two grilles, that in picture is only masking tape to give me an Idea of what it would look like

Nice Justin. :)

I managed to remove all the additional various scratches in the panels with Autoglym Paint renovator, then re-washed the car (after yesterday's effort) and then applied super resin polish, but didn't have enough time to seal with a layer of gloss protection... :(

That is just like the leather I got when I had the CJ. Looks simple enough to appear OEM, but the blue stitch just finishes it off :)

Good choice :D

Someone bumped into my car and left a crack on the chrome trim.

Which gives me an excuse to CF wrapped the trim.
