added Grille Craft grille

Was getting tired of the old faded front fascia so updated the ride
with a GrillCraft mesh grille. It required the removal of the front bumper cover
Total job took about 1hr and change...Fitment is a 9 out of 10

*I also have a VFN Sunoco hood (no centerline)

I hear ya. If GM set out and made the front end decent we wouldn't have to band aid it.
I wasn't feeling the OEM style, didn't like SLP's, think the Billet grille belongs
on a 60's car...so this was the best of the worst IMO.

Ebay grille, $45 shipped, painted black with the front polished. Fits great, it looks a lot better than stock and mesh grilles

How much did you pay for it? Why does it look wavy?

It was ~$165
I guess the light reflecting on it made it look wavy. It conforms to the opening ...

Give him a break guys, I guarantee you that is about 10x better than the nasty stock appearance.

Everyone has their own tastes; it is not my favorite grille, but I have seen worse.

Yikes that's expensive. I'm not really feeling it, but it's your car.

get it out in the sun and take multiple angle shots and people might change their opinions. I have seen this grille on a nice ss and it looked great in the daylight from every angle but head on, head on it looks pretty gay.

Nah it's all good. I've had this car for almost 10yrs and needed something new.
If I can help the next guy make a decision, ugly or not at least he has something to judge.
In person I think it looks pretty mean all blacked out but hey that's me.

..to the point about $165 being expensive well it's all relative.
Some make that in a week while others make that in an hour

I am sorry that is just gross. No grill at all looks better. On top of all that it is a 165 Bucks. . . Ewwwwwwwwwww.

But, if you like it then it was worth it.
