My brother own's a body shop i tolk it to him to fix that was 2years ago ... I still have to spray wd40 in the lock hole every couple of months for it to work but i live in michigan and they use alot of salt in the winters

Yes all chrome grill, will post pics after installation when I have enough posts to be allowed to post a pic. Bought from a place in Texas, about $80, want to do headlights but other problems like suspension and door locks have priority. Grill change is second on the list, did the brakes and a bad ball joint found as they did brakes was replaced, it still catches and is stiff when steering down the street, need to turn more corners to limber it up. Brake rotors were turned and mech. said to not do any emergency stops for a couple hundred miles.
