I have a 2006 base XLR that I am interested in installing a V or Platinum hood. I understand they are the same thing. Because I have chrome wheels I am wanting to go with a chrome grille. I purchased a star black grille, which is chromed, and will have to have the lower trim part of the grill painted Blue Steel to match my car. My biggest concern is when looking at the V hood I see that there is a chrome trim piece on the hood at the grille. I would prefer not to use this piece of chrome trim and was wondering......does this piece of chrome just adhere to the hood with adhesive or is it bolted on. I really don't want to purchase the hood and have a body shop have to fill bolt holes before painting it. Also, is there any thing else that is needed other than the hood deadener or is it pretty much a straight swap. I look forward to hearing from all the knowledgable members from this site.
