Just wondering if anyone has installed the '05 and up front bumper billet grills and if it requires the top 2 main grills to be there to attach to or if it replaces them all-together. TIA!

The answer was right there, they are replaced, so looks like I will be getting a billet grill! Thanks, Mike!

It was a pain in the @$$, but the end results looks really nice. I totally love my front end now that I have the billet grill.The resolution is low so the billet looks a bit distorted.

Hey slvervibes that looks really really good.... i'm not to keen on the look of the billet aluminum on white otherwise i'd get some for my 03

Ooops, sorry about that. My pics are back up.Here are some shots of the factory top grilles: I wish I could push a button and switch between grilles...I would rather have a dark grille, but not the trademark Pontiac hexagon/honeycomb shape detail. I may try painting the grilles the body color or black, dark grey would look cool too, or bronze...whatever will match my future rims. So much for covering my license plate in some pics. It may be easier to install the pieces with the whole front fascia removed. I removed it when I installed my CAI and it took less than 10 minutes. 3 screws up top, 4 on the bottom and it slides right out after unclipping it from the fenders.

I'm going to get mine anodized black before I install the top two grilles, it's much more durable than paint in areas with harsh winters. I'll do the roof rack at the same time. I installed the bottom ones in October but have not had the courage to do the top 2 yet.Thanks for those pics LUVROK, they'll really help when I take mine apart.
