I wish but he is about 1 hour from my place. We have grand prix meeting over there for car show and cookout in Ohio this Saturday. He will install for me. All I owe him is Mountain Dew drink Did you noticed the 3 tab on top of grille? He says it is most easy job to install this grille than like street scene that need many darn clips that everyone have little problem with that. He just done with paint tonight so he took the pictures for me.

How much palsut? Cause the ones I bought really restrict the air flow into my radiator, therefore, decreasing the cooling of the vehicle. My temps are higher due to them. Those look good and have big openings.

Alright, my lower grille cost me $50 because they are USED set. Also I paid him other $10 buck for paint my color galaxy silver for me. That's $60 buck for me. The new lower grille set cost $90. Upper grille which I didn't buy it since mine stock grille is same color and pattern. They cost $70 but like I say his website is not update. He will talk to you official price.
Please reach him email if you are interesting this set.

Sorry about too pricy for this. I guess I'm very lucky for used set. I don't mind use set as long I want to paint it Also, I rather install them in front of bumper since he told me it is most easy job. Street Scene use behind this bumper but I have splash guard under it. I don't feel like to remove them to put lower grille for that. Oh of course remove some parts for upper grille to reach behind. It seems too much work for me. That's what I think.

I contacted him and we are working on a price for whole set including my WS6 hood. I really like the fact that they attach the same as the factory pieces and I like the honeycomb design better than any I've seen so far. I now have a full set of w-body store grills that I will happily let go for a song. Hopefully I'll have the new grills in time for my calendar photo shoot

that second picture with 18's is calendar worthy especially if you can get the power poles out of the way

Passenger tire looks underinflated, and slanted too. Don't like the mismatch with the hood grilles though, but you said you can't do anything about that.

I likey. If you wanted to use that for your entry for the calendar shoot, consider getting the shadows of other cars, people, objects, and such out of the frame before clicking the shutter. Try to get a nice, even, and high, beltline along the side of the car. In picture 2, you have a low beltline from the shadow being reflected AND a higher beltline from the top of the garage wall. My wife also noticed that the hood above your driver's headlight looks, umm, slashed. As if someone took a swing with a knife to another's eyebrow.
As said above, if it werent for the mismatched grills, it would be VERY nice. Time for projectors, altezzas, and rims. Sharp lookin car, man. Very sharp.

Sure, I will bring ax to keep knock pole down for better picture I noticed that on my tire. This car just have 2 hours drive during car show. When I arrived in garage to eat so I went quick snap for lower grille. I hope I didn't ran over nail or something. I have to check it out what wrong. Thank for let me know. Yeah, headlight need to work on. I didn't get chance to fix that. It was last time at body shop when they took it out for paint front bumper. That's why it look different. rim: done... it is still in my bedroom clear tail: like 20gt02 say fish eyes but now he is happy it is gone I have tint clear tail but I sold it for $250. My stock tint tail is on way soon. projecter headlight: well I already brought new headlight with clear corner. I kind like mine look better. I work night shift since 2001. This one is helpful. That's just me.

Looks really good. Mismatch between hood and other grills is a little distracting, if you're nit-picking.

I did plan put decal on rear bumper last Friday and plan add front plate cover but in rear "PONTIAC" letter have weird bubble on it. It is very tough paint. I'm afraid decal won't stay strong because it is not smooth letter. I will have to take it back and tell body shop "you suck"" This guy I buy purple roof rail will ship it out to me tomorrow. I'm not sure when it will install. I'm thinking paint it black but silvermist car have silver paint roof rail.I thought that's very interesting. Some car have same color insead black. Local Ohio guy who install navy roof rail in his navy car. Clubgp have tan and silver roof rails on their cars. Oh purple car have same color too.

It is not that bad. If you want grill change then use real steel F1 hood but they worth like $700 or something. If you have seen my off topic thread about ohio car show. This blue car have real F1 hood. I check his hood. Man, it is awesome but like I say it is too much money.

I don't feel like to post other new thread about windshield decal and new braces. I'm not post whore lol I have black letter decal for rear bumper but I noticed the paint is getting bubble. It is not smooth. It looks like they overspray on it. I will take it back and tell them smooth it out then I can put decal on it. Brace: They are unpainted so I will paint it for galaxy silver. Windshield decal: I kind mess it up for "A". It is my first time to decal on my car. If I hate it then I will remove them. This one is not that bad. I try my best to measure them. They are both even so I think I did pretty good. What you think?

Loving the grill, but the grill on the hood doesn't look right but it still looks good. Are you thinking about getting the GT/GTP side panels or you're going to keep it stock.
