Talking Grilled up and served hot
Installed the GM Heritage grille yesterday, here are some photos. One thing I like about the grille is that it comes pre-painted in a slight two-tone finish. The paint is a matte metallic gray, similar to cyber gray. The rest is black, of course. You cyber gray car owners probably won't have to have the grille painted.

My car has Pfadt lowering springs, and 22" iForged "Sprint" wheels on it. Those are 315 wide tires in the rear.











And in case you might be wondering why the nose is a bit lower than the rear, I've put on some weight:

I like that grille a lot! Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the same grille they're using on the Indy 500 Pace Car this year?

Same grille. GM has been using them on their showcars for over a year now. They just became available to the public about 2 weeks ago.

When did the Maggie get installed? I guess I missed it if it has been posted already. Care to let us know what kind of power it made?

Finished the blower install last week. 535 rwhp at 7 psi boost. Kit was installed as-is out of the box. I plan on a smaller pulley, mild cam, and some fuel system upgrades to reach 600+ rwhp.

Thumbs up
I'm normally not into most aftermarket body pieces but that grille is really nice.

Wow, your car is the first that I actually like with the heritage grill. Very tasteful as usual, I envy your style. Are you going to C5F?
