Woaw, that's way more expensive than I thought... I guess I'll stick to making some myself out of the stock grills.

Well, I'm just gonna try my hand at the How-to that was posted a while back really... and hope I can pull this off. But honestly, can it really look as bad as the stock grill?

Well, when you paint it, in the end it still looks like a Pontiac grill... just one that's been painted so it looks a bit less ugly.


If you've got a bit of time (and courage), I'd suggest doing it right the first time. You'll get a nice look the first time... and won't spend an hour sanding the paint off from your first experiment.

When you do it yourself it "could"(in my case would) end up ****ty.

The oem mesh are 230 or so(online) and over 300 at my dealer.

I thought this was a good comprimise.

Yeah, that's why I still haven't done this mod already... 'cause I've never worked with any kind of body filler (bondo or any other brand) and I'm still not quite sure I can do a good job. And if I don't, I'll just throw the whole think in the bin 'cause there's no way some sh*tty stuff is to ba installed on my car.

So I can understand why people who can afford it would go with the Acccolade option... it's just so much easier that way and you know exactly how it's gonna loos in the end.

Agreed.

However, I just added myself to the GB for body kits.. so me getting this part.. seems pointless.. If I made the list for the GB.

yah... I know they posted in the classifieds section they for $65. I hope they arent charging $30 shipping for 2 pieces of plastic.

Those look good though... Been so tempted to get a set of those but money has been tight lately.
