Maybe she is trying to decide which is the first "real" mod. Or maybe she is in denial that she got the mod bug. :rofl: Good luck with this one, I wonder how the tape will hold up/on over time. :thumbup:

So tomorrow I'm going to add the chrome tape to my grill like my neighbor Coffeeman did. I'll post before and after pics...wish me luck!!!
I also copied coffeeman's mod. However, I primed mine first w/ a white plastic primer and then used a silver/textured plastic spray paint. I then applied the 1/16" strip of chrome pinstripe to the leading edge of the grille slats. Total cost: $5 for the primer, $7 for the plastic auto paint, $4 for the 1/16" chrome pinstripe = $16 = priceless quaility time in my garage admiring my work.

I think they look great....I know, I know...it doesn't count b/c I've not posted pics. (I'm telling ya' guys I'm 'puter retarded)! :)

I'm serious when I say this.... I think my dog ate my usb cable for my camera to hook it up to a computer. Matter of fact I know he ate something... bits n' pieces were found after the fact.

Okay, I promise I'll look into it it tomorrow! :) I might have to post printer/puter questions....fair warning!!!

Here it is...so yeah, I guess this is officially Mod #3. Mod #1 was the visor, Mod #2 was Rob_'s Non-Smoker's Cigarette Lighter, and Mod #3 is my chrome grill tape.

I have a before, halfway, and two after shots. Along with a picture of Mod #1 (you can print it for your dartboards) :) :)

Let me know what you think! (I don't know if I'm 100% sold on it.)
