That looks very good.

Nice work.

From the last photo, I'm guessing that you're going to do the same with the windshield shroud?

Im buyign the NRG c/f grille. Yours looks mad nice and your pretty close to me. I like the whole thing being done in C/F. Might have to do mine as well. Will you get them clear coated and all or will it just be the dry look.
