Dandruff from the heavens! Or what we call snow! The stuff your snowbirds flee from to run down there and take up all the bar stools!

Even though it got smashed up in the accident, I did like my grill. Black chromed aftermarket with billet bowtie.



I eventually painted the lower billet piece black.

Was that lower grille difficult to install? I was thinking about doing it.

Mine lower had 4 screws with brackets. Took about 10 minutes to install.

Did you just drill into the bumper to install them? Did you do it whilst the bumper was on the car? I think I am looking at the same one.....

Mine used 2 self tapping on the bottom (lower lip opening) and 2 with friction brackets on the top. Once you installed the 2 lower, then you tightened the 2 upper and it tightened up the grill. So only the 2 bottom screws actually went into the original bumper cover.

All done from the top with hood open and directly in front between the grill bars.

Don't remember. Bought it back in 06 before all the no name aftermarket ones hit ebay.... It cost more, but it was from one of the more common billet grill companies. And sorry, I don't remember the company either, but I think it was a Carriage Works.
