Does anyone know where or if i can find a phantom grill for an 81 el co? the kind that covers the headlights as well? where it looks like lines going across the front

I checked Billet Specialties (http://www.billetspecialties.com/), but they didn't have anything. I know H.C. sells the inserts, but I've never seen one that covers the headlights on an Elky....I'll poke around a little tonight. :cool:

Maybe if you paint the headlight bezels and the supports black. Then maybe some black GTS headlight,turn signal covers. That way you'd focus on the grille and not really notice the stuff behind it.

I agree with ya Cold, everyting behind the grill should be black, seeing everything behind takes your focus off the grill.
