Re: [Chrysler300] F Grill and Door Sill Plates

Tom,
 
If you want to duplicate the black anodizing of grille, my suggestion is flat black powder coat.  To anodize the grille, all pieces would need to be taken apart as the anodizing relies on electrical conductivity, and the crimped pieces don't provide enough; result is a poor anodize job.  
 
So you can either powder coat or paint, but painting aluminum for longevity requires lots of prep.

1. My Grill shell is being chrome plated (so I don't have it handy to fit the grill into it) and I am trying to figure out if the grill I have is for a G or an F; I assume they are different, other than the shorter side up or down. Can someone send me a picture of a grill and tell me if it is from an F or a G? Or is there an easy way to tell which one I have? If my grill is for a G, I am in big trouble!

2. Should the grill (assuming I have the correct one) be anodized black for an F or is it painted? If painted, is it a satin finish?

3. I plan to send off the sill plates for anodizing. I fitted them to the body and realize there must be a steel plate that attaches to the body underneath the sill plates; I believe the plate also holds the carpet in place on each side. Can anyone tell me the thickness of the steel plate and the dimensions?

Thanks for your help.
