took Pat'* advice and rattle-canned my parts car'* grill this weekend. Came out looking ok.... still needs a little sanding and clear coat, but I decided to mount it anyways. The issue is that both tabs are broken on the right side along with the plastic clips that insert into the hood next to the center screw. So all that'* holding it on at the moment is the center screw, left screw, and left support arm. Anybody with any ideas on how to get the two right side tabs attached back to the grill? I tried CA glue with no success.
On to the photos..... let me know what you think. I'm not sure I like the gap between the grill and the bumper due to the different shape of the bottom of the SSE grill(see last photo for what I'm talking about)-

cool-deal...... just let me know when. I'll set the beer outside so it'll chill.
My initial thought was to simply drill a hole beside the broken mouting tab through both the grill and hood and getto it together with a bolt, nut and washers. :?
