    Thanks man, the grill surround I just ordered from the dealer. Seems to be the easiest way unless you do it yourself. I'm sure having it painted would probably cost as much as just buying a new painted one.

    The finish on yours is awesome! I left the lug nuts chrome me too and I like the result but dust seems to stick a lot on plasti dip so they are never black as I would like it to be... But when I was them they look good!

    My wife went to work. I didn't, so it was a good time to bake the headlights.

    Used her good cookie sheet.



    About 300* ( oven then turned off) in for 7 minutes.



    They came apart okay but still had to work at it.



    Wife got home to see this, which is okay. I'm always doing something.



    I was in the process of cooking spaghetti. I figured the cooking onions and the garlic would cover up the slight smell of plastic.

    First thing she asks is, "Did you heat the headlights in the oven?"

    I think you preheat the oven then turn it off and put them on a piece of cardboard.
