spicypt, I think if you go to ptcruiserlinks.com homepage and look at the DIY's, there is a posting about a NA PT that put the chrome strips on and they had to be replaced after eight or ten months. Granted, the overlay may be "thicker" than the strips, but the turbo puts a lot more heat out and one of the places that heat escapes is through the grille. Don't mean to dampen any spirits, I too like the look of the overlay, but I went with real billet after reading the DIY follow-up.
I think you are referring to the "English" grille from DIY? That is completely different than the overlay we have installed. The grille overlay we installed is a honeycomb (mold of the grille) that is dipped into chrome and put over the grille in 2 peices. One for the top and one for the bottom. This is not strips of chrome added to the edge of the grille.
