Wish my grills were so perfectly aligned.
I think to get it as good as yours I would need to replace the apron panel as a start.
Also am considering painting my garage floor - out of interest what is yours done with. ?

Its painted with epoxy concrete floor paint. Its goes thick using a roller. I chose a lighter colour as its easier to see when working under the car.
Its a bit of a headache trying to get it all aligned. and still maintain clearence for the headlights to open/close.
I have roughly fitted the bumperettes but if I have the grills parallel with the bumper then there is large gap between the top of the bumperette and bumper. If I lift the bumperette up to close this gap then the inside of the grills are tilted up and look like crap:grr:
I have been thinking about adding material to the top of the bumperette prior to getting them chromed. The jury is still out as to doing this or not!!!

I found that my best fit resulted in a bit of a gap at the top of the bumper-ettes as well.
The grills were nice and parallel to the bumper.
I also ended up with a bit of gap between the grilles and the bumper-ettes
I still need to spend more time on it, then i will pull them off again later and strip, paint etc
