The chrome grill and headlights are not plastic.

[tweakedlogic]

Well, they are mostly plastic. But the chrome is actually over a really thin layer of copper.
Neat! I wish i had known that before I started preping them for black paint. Tore right through the copper in a small spot. It was really slow @ work today, so I scuffed up the front bumper, grill and headlights with a Roloc disc. Then etched, primed and painted flat black. Installed a set of clear lenses i bought in April of 03!
Other than the place I tore through, it all looks really good. Didn't get pics yet. I'll do that tomorrow.

I can tell ya they are too plastic, and whatever ya do, don't try powder coating one.

I bought them from ebay in 03. I'm sure you can still find them.

Just use "paint" Click "image" on tool bar, then "size/skew" and reduce the size. See....
