    So I've been giving some thought to getting a chrome grill for a Satoshi and color match mod. I've checked with a couple junk yards around here hoping to find one in good enough shape. If it's scratched a little, that's fine because I am going to be sanding and painting anyway.

    My question is, how much would you pay for one? I'd like to not go over $40ish. I've seen some on here for $50+shipping, but I don't want to be in this thing a lot of money if I do it and screw it up or don't like the finished product.

    Thoughts?

    None as of now.
    Was gonna sell my stock chrome grille for $100 but decided to do a Satoshi mod myself.

    If I was to buy one that would be about the max I would pay one to do a mod to.

    I agree. I just can't justify spending more than $40 on something I plan to cut up and sand and repaint. I would just go ahead and do it to my grille but I'd like to keep a chrome stock grille around just in case I ever decide to sell or trade it in.

    Satoshi'd grill. blacked out badges. aftermarket sound system. De-chromed and color matched. OME 885s + Dakars with 3rd leaf removed. LR UCAs. Scs stealth 6 with 285 duratracs. BAMF sliders
    Dont get a chrome one if your going to paint it. Buy a replica off of ebay or partsgeek.com for $50-$60.
