Had a little time to kill, so I thought i'd quickly throw a couple pics up. I just got my rears all tinted last week, and Here's a pic of a custom grill I had made a couple days ago. This was just the first try, now that we have the template in the plasma cutter, we can make any design we want. Still trying to decide the best color of Powdercoat. New Tint! New Grill!

Chameleon.. interesting hahaha, The official name of this color is (apparently) Dark Metallic Tropic... But it has a tendancy to look really blue in some pix.
I just need to lighten up the grey on the bottom this spring, and then maybe some new rims. I'm really undecided about these ones, some people really like them some don't.

Looks good.
I personally like chrome. I'd love to chrome my car out where possible (for instance I think a chrome "Grand Prix" lettering on the trunk would be cool.
Can't wait to get my windows tinted. I hope to do that with my income tax return.

Heh, Austin, I always knew you'd find a good way to get something by trading those fog covers. I'd like to have a set of fog covers and a set of grills, how much'll that cost me?!

Tell you all what, when i see him next, I'll have him cut out a bunch of sets. Cutting them out is nothing, You guys can then paint, chrome or do whatever you want. No donations required. I'll keep you up to date on it. He's busy right now, but when i go to do my bottoms I'll cut out a bunch of sets.

Canadian, that deserves more than a beer, or a case, more like a keg. Hopefully when you decide to make that trip, I'll be 21 by then

I don't think CanadianGTP will be able to sell his grill inserts here. Brian has grill inserts at PFYC.com. You might want to contact CanadianGTP outside of this forum to discuss purchasing a set from him.

Brian is the guy that owns this site. He also owns PFYC.com, which is the performance parts store of GrandPrix.net. It would be kinda' like going to Home Depot and bringing in 5' lengths of PVC tube and selling them on their PVC aisle.
I hated to be the bearer of bad news on this issue, but that's about how it sums up.

CanadianGTP doesn't have grills to sell. however, when i go to get some plasma cutted out, i may have him just blast out a bunch of sets. This may take a while guys (maybe months), so don't hold off buying any or anything like that... Sorry for the confusion. And they wouldn't be polished finished things, just some rough cut-outs for you guys to do what you want with sorta thing... And next time i'm down in Cali, I will get some shots of B. with the car, and trust me, i'll post when i do Cheers!

I hated to be the bearer of bad news on this issue, but that's about how it sums up. Oh ok. I thought this site was independent of any other site.
