Who would like Billet Grills for their '09-10?

Post by dayday »

Just wondering how much interest there is for these. I have a friend locally that makes them and could probably make this happen in several styles.

This is the "one off" set he made for my GP. There was also a lower set not installed for this pic.

The one on your GP looks really good dayday, but I actually like the factory grilles on my '09 GT .

Personally I don't think I would change mine either, due to car color, other than to maybe have a honeycomb lower grill made. I just saw it mentioned in another thread that there were non available and figured I may be able to source a supplier for billet grills for those interested.

Definitely a great idea though and I hope you and your friend can help anyone out that may want one .

The squares were just a "one off" I had him do to try and match the checkered flag pattern on my GP Pace Car graffix.When he made grills for the GP community he had vertical lines, horizontal lines, flames, honeycomb and maybe a couple others.

UPDATE I just went out and took a closer look at the design. It looks to be quite involved to replace the grills and still retain the surround bezel. If there is a lot of interest I'll have my friend take a look and get his opinion on it, otherwise this may be a waste of time .

Sleekautoaccessories had three for sell on Ebay. They were made by Gen X Trims. The item was 2009 2010 Pontiac VIBE Mesh Grille Grill Overlay - #160472361034. The sale has ended with no takers (it looks like). Not too bad looking for $47.

If there is a lot of interest I'll have my friend take a look and get his opinion on it, otherwise this may be a waste of time .Make them to replace the upper grille and bezel in one piece (very dark gunmetal grey preferably) and also lower grille and fog light covers as well!!! Pattern's not overly important (no squares...) but they all have to match!
