anyone got one of these billet grilles?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/81-87...QQcmdZViewItem

it looks like in the pic, that you cant use the factory chrome molding around it....(which i'd rather use with the grille)

anyone got one of these???

wow those grilles are are usually around 350.00 to 400.00 as far as the factory chrome i thing it is your once choice of using or not which means if you dont use them you have to weld up the slitts in the fenders and re-paint im like you i want the trim on mine too.

I don't have one, but I have seen other folks on the board post rave reviews on the quality of their stuff.

You can use the factory trim if you want.
Or else you should weld up the holes (all around not just the fender)
and paint it (like 86GMG said).
