I'm going to get them, but I'm going to paint the gray portions blue. This way it matches the lower grill a little better and looks sleeker.

I don't think they look good without the rest of the Sport Appearance body kit.

I'm going to agree with TriShield. I feel they are a step toward the Grand Prix's without the rest of the Autocross package. I personally like the way it looks without any mods. But CMNT's idea of painting them might make it look better or more unique.




Although the G6 also looks a lot like the Grand Prix too.

GMpartsdirect.com is where some guys are getting them.

I will post pictures of a red one that has teh inlets painted. I think it makes it look better and draws greater on the dark mesh grill portion giveing it a deep, mean and sleek look.

Here is a Torrid Red car with them painted.

Bleh, that just makes it look like an older Grand Am (referring to the Torrid Red)

I think it helps it match the lower grill personally. I've been waiting for someone to come up with a similar looking lower grill to match the uppers, but no one has.

That's my favorite GTO color! The grills look nice by the way.....

If only I had more money and garage space....I'd have a Goat.

Great looking mod Impulse Blue. I think they look great. And after seeing the painted ones, I think the stock grey looks just right. Any idea what the approx. price for these are. Also, how much work involved with swapping them out?? One more question, how much did the chrome wheels cost ya??

the price for the grilles were 235. As for the chrome wheels those were free
the dealer had them done because they own a chrome shop. So i lucked out
on that.the install time is about 20min to 1/2 hour seeing you have to take the front cover off to get at these darn clips on the bottom of the factory grilles but once you get them off it is pretty easy.
