I just got a new 2005 Front End Cover (GM Part Number 12499896). I tried to install it and it doesn't seem to fit properly. Has anyone else had success installing their new Front End Cover?Thanks!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=6763Good find, but seeing how the seller is using a pic of an 03/04 on an auction for an 05 part, I'd be wary...Maybe a bit neurotic, but it's very easy to get screwed by people on there...

It's the cutouts for the grille. If I replace the screw with the snap in the top-middle of the grille, the cutouts are about 5-6 inches too high. If I hold the cutouts so they match the grille, the snap needs a hole drilled - which I'm not going to do!The dealer had sold me a 2004 Front End Cover at first, and that was definitely the wrong part. This latest one is different from the 2004 model, but still doesn't fit properly.Or, are the cutout supposed to be off?

Yes, the snap is under the hood. The snap replaces a screw that helps hold the front bumper assembly in place.

I visited the pontiac dealer today. They checked for a 05' bra. They say it doesn't exsist yet. The part # you listed is infact for the 04'Guess I will have to wait a few months for 05' parts to come out.

I just took mine to the car wash yesterday and just after 10,000 miles my front end looks 10 years old, dinged and chipped. I don't really want to put a cover on it. I think that they look cheesy.Since I do not drive under any harsh conditions, would/could/should this type of damage be covered under warranty???
