the two retangular trim pieces that go on the inner grille, i managed to get them off with a beating, now how the hell do i get the little wire fastners that hold the trim on off the grille itself? theyre rusted to hell, i guess i should just drill them out? also where can i get some new ones? god theyre a pain in the ass.

and also wheres the best place to get the grille trim from new? from what i see those little 5oz pieces of metal are expensive!

I recently bought a set from King Parts. $120.00 for the pair. I also bought new clips. The clips were $30.00, thats for 28 clips, not too bad. I'd never try to reuse the old ones again. Too much trouble and the springs break off easily. A little pricey but boy do they make a difference. I put on new headlight trim rings too.
