I was able to buy a complete grill assembly from Ender928. The only problem was that it was painted red and one of the Horizontal Slats (Aluminum part) was broke in half. I knew this getting into it and Ender928 gave me a good deal.

Anyways, used Aircraft Remover (paint remover) to remove the paint from all pieces. I thought it would melt the plastic pieces but it worked great and just bubbled off the paint.

I then repaired the broken slat using JB Weld and sanding it down nice a flat. I then painted all the Metal Pieces (metal slats) with Trim Paint since I've had great luck with this stuff not peeling off, especially on parts that hit the wind constantly. Re-assembled and using blue locktite on the screws. Walla, a Grill that looks like newski.

Tomorrow I install my Front Spoiler and Grill.
