You don't have to have that chrome trim that is on the front of the lancer do you? What would it look like if you just removed the chrome trim? If possible I would rather remove it then paint it.

I will be buying a bumper cover and am pretty sure I won't like the look of the chrome trim that goes around the grill. Does anyone know where I can buy this trim for the grill.

Hope I make sense. I am looking for the TRIM OF THE UPPER GRILL nothing about the bumper.

The stock grill is fine I want that to stay on there I just want to change the trim.

But while were on topic what is the difference between that grill and the stock one. I couldn't see one at least from that pic.

The grill hooks to the trim, so no trim means no grill. Would be a major fail on looks with no grill. Just paint it and be done. Cost ya like $15 for paint and clear coat.
