ABSTRACT:
A snap-on automotive grille overlay (10) that is formed with a thin-walled overlay body (20) configured to duplicate an existing automotive grille when nested thereupon. The overlay body (20) includes an essentially rectangular peripheral border (22) that incorporates a rim (24) extending inward from the border periphery. One or more horizontal slats (28) and vertical bars (26) are formed within the border rim to form an ornamental design that mates with a vehicle existing grille. A plurality of inward-protruding clips (32) are integrally formed within the slats and bars for connecting the grille to the vehicle. The clips are beveled (34) on an interior surface (36) and yield sufficiently to permit deflection over a vehicle grille, thus allowing the grille overlay to be snapped into place.
