I too have painted mine body color, can't think of much more you can do the front end, and make it look any better. (except for driving lights)
Grille is held on by three screws, and the emblem is held on by two.
Stripping the chrome off is the pain in the ass, and I mean the Whole ass! :giggle:
I used a little exacto knife, and then sanded it with progressivley?? finer grits of sandpaper, no primer, just 3 thin coats of gloss white, and has held for over 7 months, as I did this last April, not long after I got the car.

I'm not very good with stuff liek that so when I get it painted I will probably see if they can do that too.

I didn't do mine body color, but when I smoked out my headlighhts I but a satin/semi gloss coat of black on the grill (I took off the emblem, then put it back after painting) and it looks pretty good. Check out my user ride pics here:http://foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=7396
I really like it. I did the same to the chrome mouldings around the windows and it all looks good together. Bye
