Yeah dont know why they took a little bit of chrome and added it to a truck that didnt have any other chrome on it just looks like they had left over chrome ones and just slapped it on.

Good job, the color-matched grill looks pretty nice. I am planning on doing a similar thing to my chrome grill, and the chrome parts of the front and rear bumper.

How did you go about getting the correct color to match? Was an auto paint shop able to use your truck's color code?
