Got the PROPER horn grills from SM over the weekend, so pulled off the old ones, and only then can you see how bad these locally manufactured items are.. gawd. :roll:
Anyway, new ones are on, and car's lookin' hawt. I must be honest and say it is a totally different looking car when you do the detail work. Now if I can only shake this head-cold. :zhelp:

The detail with the OEM ones is like night and day. I got two blanks from Roger a while ago and even they look way better than the local ones.

good stuff.
