And yes I know the headlights need to be restored badly lol

Looks very nice man.
I still find it funny that people pay over $100 for these from certain places... when they all look exactly the same!
When I had mine, I paid $38 shipped on Ebay and sold it for $50 because I was offered cash for it from a friend and was ready for a change so I sold it. I even told him how much I paid lol

Looks good man! Planned on doing something similar to this on my z28, but with a 2.5 times more expensive grille like the guy above said. Saw this and purchased that same grille right away haha, thanks man!

Looks good
Now restore and whistler mod those lights.


To those discussing over paying, from what I here the ebay grilles can be hit or miss on the fitment. The OPs looks great; I've seen others that are not so great.
