    I kinda agree, it'd pop nicely with the right paint color...

    What's wrong with recycling a piece of history like that strip of WWII aircraft runway your Grandfather brought back from Iwo Jima?
    I like it.

    I like it too. When you make something by hand and it looks "factory" made, I think you did well. It will leave the wanna be's searching the hardware stores for a grill like yours! I think perhaps I would want it another color then the car as you said and I like the idea of a piece of chrome down the center myself. I do agree with what someone said, pinstripping might make it too busy and for what it's worth, I really like the dimple die work, makes it look finished. My 2 cents.

    Damn you popped alot of holes all over that car!

    I wouldn't worry about the insert,
    but change those headlight stands they don't seem to match the rest of the car...

    I think you should take it off and throw it out.. Right out to me that is.. I like it looks killer.

    I think its great as is, but since you will be repainting again, you could always try some new things, like striping the radiused edge of each hole to give them more accent. If it was me I'd leave it, good stuff!
