From the looks of it, looks like the stock grill. Either eBay (if your lucky) or GM dealership.

Like Monte said, its just a billet grill. The only black billets available though are from Afterthoughts and are VERY overpriced compared to Ebay. Just get one from Ebay, paint or powder coat it black and get a SS emblem.

The sponsor Monte was probably referring to was 6litereater, but he doesn't have them anymore I don't think.

+2. You can get the grille for about $40 shipped on Ebay.

Yup. MUCH better than $150. Some people complain about the Ebay ones being junk and flimsy and such, but I can stand on mine and not worry about it, so I don't know what the hell there talking about.

All of your pics are of the same style grille... It is just a billet grille, powdercoated black with and old school SS emblem on it.

I personally have never seen a satin black powdercoated gille on ebay for $40. I've only seen Stull (I think it is Stull) carrying them for $150.

Ebay has plenty of POLISHED grilles for $40 but you have to still pay shipping, $15, and then get it powdercoated (usually $40).

Emblems range from $45-$65 (I know all the blue bowties were $65, I can't remember what the SS emblems were).

I used to sell them and the blue bowtie version for $150 shipped. I lost money on them because I ended up starting a GP price for that amount thinking I could get a discount on a bulk order but didn't get enough to get the discount.

I used to also just offer them for my cost of $175 shipped ($55 grille shipped, $40 powdercoat, $65 shipped blue bowtie, bracket I make to mount the emblem all assembled for free and shipping) but I got tired of people b!tching they could get a grille on ebay for $40 so now that is what I tell people to do...

Id heard they could be put on without removing the stock grill. Is that true? if not how tough is removal of the old grill?

No, they can't. They curve in. Stock grille, as bad as it sounds, you just rip it off. Has plastic holding tabs on back that are made to pop off under pressure...

Theres only one billet grill that fits over the factory and it doesn't look as good. It sticks out to far and has to many bars. 6LE is right, the only ones in black are from Afterthoughts or one other and are rather expensive. All Ebay grills are polished.

Does black rattlecan paint with clearcoat work on those grills or does that not last?

Should, I did it to mine with the Camaro and maybe got a small chip or two after a long half a year or so....but wasnt a problem was only a 5min job to put another coat of black and clear on.




Looks great in black IMO, when there stock silver looks like it should be on a truck.

K, was just curious more for the benefit of others here, no point in replacing my stock grill since it is covered with a plate anyway

Maybe if my bumper isn't repairable and needs replaced then perhaps I'll change the grill and cross my fingers that I don't get pulled over for no plate.
