the chevy name tag will be cut out..a black grill will be placed there with led orange lites..but the clear need about 1 week to cure for such a procedure....i didnt us any activator,...for a slow cure time...this will prevent cracking with flex or heat..the v8 logo will be painted in orange by brush in the near future as well
