Default SS Hood Grill?
Where can I find a billet grill for my SS hood that is a GM hood (not after market) And has just Horizonal bars like the billet rk sport grill for their SS hoods. I have contacted muffinbuster on ebay, and he stated that he wont do them... HELP! And if you have a Grill in your GM SS Hood Post it UP!

The Stainless thing Muffinbuster sells is the only thing I've seen for GM SS hoods. The RK sport grill won't fit an OEM hood, only theirs. I have yet to find anyone that offers anything else. I hate the factory black plastic crap but there's no other options it seems. I've been toying with the idea of trying to fabricate something but not sure how to mount it.

the only thing i can think to do is get a billet grill, cut it, and try and make it fit. i've seen people do this on their trucks and it turned out good. dont know how hard it will be on a SS hood.
