The BJ8's came with the inner portion (ring) of the grill surround (not
the lip or eye brow but the large oval piece) painted some off grey color.
don't know why they did it but maybe to cut glare for other drivers (?)
Anyway, some of my grey has rubbed off and I was thinking of filling it
back in so the entire ring is grey colored. I have no problem just taking
it all off and having shiny chrome, but since most of it is there might as
well complete it.
The earlier cars had a "grill surround" that resembles the eyebrow part of
the BJ8 grill. This is the part I'm trying to sell.
Don't know if this splains it.
BTW----most Kentuckians say Indiana folks are "clueless"
anyway:):):):):):):): No I'm not from Kentucky. I did live in Ind for 9
years.
