Front gill blistering
My truck has some bad front grill Crome blistering. I know is only a plastic coating that simulates crome, but it's starting to look real bad. What is everyone doing about it. Is there an after market full grill system that will look good?

My gill is blistering too. I have been looking at some replacements, but they are pricey. Maybe visit a junk yard.

My choice of an XL is validated! The black plastic grill looks as good as day one.

Once it starts actually peeling, I will get serious about doing something. Maybe paint, maybe replace. Or by then, maybe I won't give a ♠♣♥♦

What I did to mine.
I went to my local parts supplier they matched my paint code.
I roughed up the grille a little bit, primed it then painted it to match the truck.
I love the way it looks. Now only if I could drive it...hopefully the transmission will be in it this weekend.
