Billet Grilles

Well I picked up a used billet grille went to install it and it's a pile of garbage. I was thinking these would be bolt in replacements but this thing appears to just get strapped to the original grille (CHEAP IMHO!) So the question is what brands of grilles have you guys used that fit properly and such.

Yah they sell grilles that are just overlays. I picked up a billet grille for mine for 50 shipped off of craigslist from a guy in maryland. They normally run around 80 or more for an actual grille. Ebay has a lot but you just need to make sure that it isnt an overlay

Re: Billet Grilles

The one I got for my Camaro I got off ebay(it was around $50) I was supposed to use it as an overlay but I took my old grill off and just used spacers and bolted it to the bumper. That worked alot better and I was able to make it sit as far into the bumper as I wanted to.
