'68 "Spring Special" Inner Plastic Grill detail Tips/results, (cont. from 7/18/18)

They are painted argent silver under the spear from factory

The spear is held on my plastic clips that the spear snaps over.

The front wheel molding is shorter to stop at the spear tip.
I see. So would I have to modify the chrome wheel moldings in the front and rear tire wells to install these on my 68?
