Default Ctsv grill

What is the best aftermarket grill? Or is the best option to buy a stock one?

Assuming we're talking about a V1 CTS-V... modify, paint, powdercoat the stock one. Best quality, fit, and finish.

Agreed. My only issue is the badging indentations I thought of removing the badges on the front. But it would look bad with indentation. They make an after market blank one but I can't find the top and bottom, and it would bother me more having two different style mesh grills


Stick with stock. I recently blacked the front wreath and threw in a custom colored crest. Came out slick.

Problem is, I don't have a stock one now and the paint is chipped on the one I have.
