So they focus on what can be seen. It's possible in order to cover up this sub par finish that they either gave the back side a quick coat of paint, or it was done by the previous owner... | | | | | Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 182 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 182 | The side and back surfaces of the original chrome grill were, in fact, a low gloss black. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 55 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 55 | thank you, you confirmed my suspensions
