RE: Has anyone de-badged their 07 front grille?
Do you mean to just take off the emblem and replace it with a polished / chrome unit? If so it's really easy... Justa couplebolts on the back of the bow tie that you can access from an openingin front ofthe core support and the new unit bolts right back in it's spot. The one I bought required the holes to be hogged out a bit with a drill to fit. The stock holes were a tad too far apart. Have you pulled the gold off of the rear bow-tie yet? Really easy & you end up with a perfect chrome piece. Just take an old credit card or something thin & plastic so not to scratch the finish under the gold piece. Wedge it under the corner and slowly pry the gold piece off. It'sheld on with an epoxy.
I'll post a few pic's of these mods within a day or so.

I would like to see someone cut out the plastic that separates the top and bottom grill and replace it with one large piece of chrome mesh.
