I can't believe it has been only a little over a year since I did mine and I can't remember how much I paid.

https://montecarloforum.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=18182

If I were to guess he asked for $40 including install and I gave him $60, but again this is a shop that I have had work on two cars and spent over 4k with him in the year before, and I dropped the grill and told him to do it when ever call me when done. He also installed and used his own adhesive which that alone is pretty expensive.

Good luck, can't wait to see it.

Side note: My bow tie that came with the SLP grill got chipped by a rock, so I looking for a SS to put there if anyone has done it let me know what you used.

I used the ss badge from the side of our cars it fits perfectly on the SLP grill I got mine from Dixie Monte Carlos website but I am sure you can get one cheeked on E bay. Pm me if you want a close up picture

Mine was done when I got my trunk-lid painted so I can't say the cost, sorry.

But get it done right and it will look much better than a rattle can

What he said. You will most definately see the difference without having an eye for details.
