    I like the look of this grill, and the functionality of the lights are still retained. Does anyone know if this is a custom-made grill or an aftermarket item? I found this picture via GIS, so I'm not sure who the owner is, otherwise I'd ask. Any input or ideas are appreciated!

    No offence Jason, but why would you want to hide the beautiful grill on your 68 with that?

    Hmm, I dunno - I guess I like it. It just seems that its essentially the same grill, it just sits outside of the area of the headlights, it's very non-descript and clean. I guess I don't see it as a major modification to my grill.

    Nice color on that car ! :TU:
    Looks like a custom fabrication that needs a little tweaking to straighten those upper grill bars. The R I V I E R A letters have also been removed from the hood, as well as the front fender side marker lamps, which adds to the 'clean' look.
    Probably did it to hide those big ugly vacumm headlight pods that stopped working, and the 'custom' grill insert was a cheaper, easier fix ? :Do No:

    I think it looks pretty clean. Not too much , but enough to notice. Are you considering this or something like this?
