Nice job. And for very little cost.

My Celebrity has a pretty nicely put together front end, the headlights have virtually no gaps around them and everything is a clean look and is secure. The 6000, on the other hand, same year, has this front end that just looks so slapped together like a beginner high school shop project. Huge gaps, and nothing really lines up very well. Even the attachment of the grille itself is this hokey setup with these rubber clip things that rot, and these plastic clips on the sides that break off about every other time you remove the grille. Would probably be worth it and look better to just make an entire new solid grille for the 6000 out of coroplast.
