What color is your car Great_1?

White. I wasn't figuring on getting the clear coating just trying to gauge what the polished vs polish + clear would look like since they say the clear detracts from the finish a bit. Damn decision between glossy black and polished though

Mine are actually just 'satin' I bought them a long time back when Fig grills were just now hitting the market, and polished, coated, and such was'nt available at that time.

Also, I know it sounds kind of sounds like a cheap way to rig something up, but on the bottom set of grills use these.



You can find them at Wal-Mart, or some office place.
Pretty much wherever you go will probably have them. They're called binder clips, or office clamps. Some people call them different things.

Trust me, I, and quite a few others with these grills, and even the more expensive SS grills use this setup. Zip tie the upper ones on, clamp the bottom ones.
