Well, I said it would a MONTH before I could get black grills in. I lied. I forgot I was doing Grand Prix grills this week. I just threw the Grand Am grills into the mix and I got them back today.
The look great. The painted option is $10 more than raw aluminum. They are ready to buy on my site now. Let me know if you have any questions.

Yes, I got the order. I'll pack it and ship it here in an hour or so.
Being in a large metro area, you will have yours on Friday.

Those are pretty tight and I think they'd look sweet as all hell on my car but since I got the AAS being put on, I really don't think I could use them. Would you be willing to do a custom order to fit the kit?

I know it is an AED thread but it applies to any body kit really.

Hey thank you for the quick order...I got them at 9 am this morning and I just ordered them yesterday, very fast. But yeah might have to wait till tomorrow to put them on cuz it won't stop raining here in Indy. But the pics will be up as soon as I put those bad boys on. Thank you again for the nice product.

Ok guys I finally got around to putting the grills on. Little bit of work went into it, more than i thought but I think they turned out pretty good. Here are some pics i snagged:

Darkness is spreading... WOW that is black. Can I use those pic on my site?
I assume the bottom pieces went in w/ no problem. Did you struggle a little on the top pieces?

Hey Matt ... ever think of other colors (like red? :D)

Yeah no problem on using them on your site...I will even take better pictures for you tomorrow...I just snagged those so everyone could see. But Yeah the top ones were a pain in the rear. I removed the ram air cover and what i did was I slid the grills in so they went between the bumper and that piece of rubber inside. Well they were kind of loose still so I took some of that wire and secured it w/ that and it works perfect now. It took me about 10 15 minutes for it all but it was fairly easy. If you do you use my pics, I would appreciate that you credit it as being my car. Thanks for the grills.

Yep, two problems
1. I can't factory color match those.
2. When I did that in the past w/ other cars, no one bought them. I'm still sitting on a stack of blue, red, and yellow grills for the SRT-4's (which DO color match).

How do you think the black grill inserts would look on a '00 red GT?
akeller
03-28-2004, 10:55 AM
i think the black on red would look good as long as that is your color scheme you have going for your ride. I am trying to black my car out as much as i can. Like in my pics above, i even put vinyl over the pontiac arrow. I am going to go take some better pics of my grill for you guys today so you can see them better.
