    Here are the pics I took of the custom tube grill when I was in Daytona.
    The center is supported by a strip of metal connected to the hood latch support. And the ends of the tubes are suported by the head light bezels!
    they actually have individual holes drilled in them for each tube to go into.

    Tim , I agree with you ...I `m not really a fan of ANY custom grill I`ve seen ,I just like the stock ones I guess. I posted the pics of the custom one because alot of people here like them,and I have never seen one done this way.

    Has anyone ever done the stock look but with chrome or something like it? I kinda like the way it looks also but I cracked my platic one and don't care for it being black to much...

    The stock grill did come in chrome. I have an NOS one in my closet. They are really hard to find but look great. I am not a fan of blacked out grills either.
