Got an SS Grille!!! Pics!!!

The same guy that swapped me his door handles got a new billet grille for his SS, well he wanted the emblem so he tried to cut it off well it didn't turn out right so he gave the Grille im trying to figure out if its salvageable. Im thinking of making it all open and not having the bar through it.Kind of like how the concept HHR SS Panel looked.

can you just put a new bowtie on it, or no? Can't tell since i don't know what one looks like without the bowtie.

also, i thought it didn't work without cutting the bumper down a bit.

jealous though.

Yea i would have to cut the bumper to make it work, the bowtie was made into the bar that goes across the grille.

look sweet

You know what would look sweet? Cust a piece of red plastic lexan to fit into it. Or, a piece of white plastic pearloid. You know the stuff they make guitar pickguards out of.

Maybe you could add this one, and rework it a little to make it fit.

Yes, for the emblem. The white pearloid would look classy.

Check out these materials:

Who knows, you can probably call this guy and he'll cut it for you.

You might try automotive swapmeets they often sell chevy bowties in different colors. Just take the dimensions and a tape measure. Good Luck
