Nothing wrong with trying something new, and you know I think you scored a win with the grill.

Since you've got more chrome stripping, can you find the part # for it?

I picked up some chrome door edging today. I'll see how that looks on it. It'll be more rounded if anyone gets close enough to look, but since it grips around the sides it should be more secure.

2 strips wasn't enough. My Riv looks like a shark with a few teeth knocked out.

Seeing it in person, I'm kinda undecided. I think the extra width of the door trim helps. It doesn't follow the curve of the plastic teeth as well though. It sticks out a bit at the top. I'm going to get more door stripping to finish it before deciding. The fact that it doesn't look factory when you get up close is killing me.

Theres a couple close-ups of the grills in there. I think all of them have all of the lines with the chrome on it not every other like he did.

Check out MY custom grill:

Just kidding. Well, sort of. That IS my Riviera, but that's when it was having bodywork done (it still is).

When I get my Riv back, I'm doing this chrome grill thing as well, looks great!

That's pretty cool. Be sure to monitor engine coolant temps closely!

As long as you don't mod the engine.

How about a pic with the hood down?

It appears you're covering the radiator by at least 60%. Don't know if it will run hotter, but it can't run any cooler, imo. It will probably be okay, just watch on hot days.

Put a 180 degree Thermostat in the car just to be safe. As for the grill I really like it can you please take a shot with the hood closed.
