94-96 B4U grills.....I'm thinking about designing some..updated bottom pg 2

[AWeb80]

Thinkin about making "billet" style ones....ones w/ horizontal lines, and then pc'n them gloss black...

 

Bad Bad Bad mspaint chop....but just visualize it.

I know...my grill is turning flat black....looks like piss...I was just trying to dress it up a bit.....

[1990lumina]

I think it would look pretty cool to be honest..just sayin the Pontiac honeycomb is gone then! lol..Throw some together I'd be interested to see what it looks like.

pssh!! He has crosslaces..

[intern8tion9l]

i think it would look awesome

[digitaloutsider]

I think it would look disgusting. The only thing that could possibly be worse are the billet grilles for the 97-03 GP's. There are certain cars that should just never have billet grilles. W-bodies fit into that category.

Its all black do you probably wouldn’t notice until you got up close.. I think it would look great and it’s getting harder and harder to find stock plastic ones in good condition. If you made them available for purchase i'd definitely buy a couple sets.

make metal honeycomb ones, and PC them black

that though crossed my mind too.

[blkinternational]

metal honycomb ones powdercoated

 

 

would look stock

[Euro]

metal honycomb ones powdercoated

 

 

would look stock

 

my thoughts exactly. Wouldn't make much of a difference

[gpchris]

They would still be glossy and not fall apart like stock ones.. I still think the "billet style" ones would look amazing

[pwmin]

ive been wanting to do something for a long time. i was thinking about actually making some out of metal and cutting a hole in each side for the air to come through better. should def do something.

the biggest difference would be one looks like satin black plastic, the other is high gloss, and it would probably outlive the bumper

[Euro]

or you could just paint your stock ones gloss black or even clearcoat them....and achieve the same effect.

[Brian P]

too bad paint doesn't repair plastic or make it stronger!! LOL!!!

ha..true....are they THAT bad?

[Brian P]

I dunno, I never owned one

[AWeb80]

I dunno, I never owned one

 

You know what your missing out on?

[Brian P]

I could always retrofit the front bumper to my Olds, should these grilles become available!

 

nah j/k, but if something's made for gen-2 GP's, I always have my sister's car here.

[Euro]

but if something's made for gen-2 GP's

 

And didn't charge $80 and weren't ebay cheapos I'd buy em!

[AWeb80]

here is what i've got drawn so far.....not finished yet.....a few touchups to do...

 

 

gotta figure out how to mount them w/ just the two holes....they will be heavier than stock...so i don't think the two screws will hold....and the arrows won't be there.....grrrrr.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

here is a grill w/ the GP in it...

 

 

when/if I make these to sell, its going to be one design or the other....

 

not either or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

here it is filled in

 

 

The letters are 1" high and 1" wide.

 

 

 

[mra32]

Would the one with the GP come with the pre-chewed chewing gum to hold the center section of the P in place?

 

You should just make it out of thin sheet metal. Like 16g or 14g. Might rattle at high speeds...
