I sanded mine with light sandpaper and sprayed it with black paint, it looks
really nice, the van's yellow, it looks like a black eyed suzan now, pieces
just keep breaking off, it's really brittle from the sun.  Does anybody know
of a grill replacement?  I don't want the original back.  I'd be nice if
they made them of stainless, maybe I'll go into buisness.
