Full replacement mustacheless grill

[94383Z71]

Damn beastlick, I'm surprised to hear that you would sell it!

 

[Beastlick]

I said there would be no other one like that, but if I sell the first prototype, it will be enough motivation to figure out how to adapt it to my replacement design. Been curious what it would look like trim-less....

You should definitely find out...

You've made me fall in love with Sonics all over again. I'm hoping to do something similar with removing the 'stache. I remember how much crap I got for the "bucktooth" look it had before I removed the license plate and mount.

You should definitely find out...

And you should definitely make one to fit an RS!

Love what you've done here. Unfortunately for me, VA requires plates on the front AND back of the car. This kindof makes the grille options for me very limited.

Not necessarily. You can do what was done with my plate. Someone put an aftermarket plate bracket below the grille. But it either blocked the intercooler or scraped depending on how I adjusted it. So I took the bracket off and used the holes that were there to mount the plate down low....after some creative reconstruction of the shape and curvature of the plate it's self..

Beast lick has a front mount plate.

True, it would be possible, just that Virginia's requirements would cover up your fantastic work. That's the killer to me.

Also, I hate offset plates like that. Used to live in Arizona, no front plates at all. Curse you commonwealth...

Who else likes polished or powder-coated metal also? Visual grill area, I think so. A sheet of slotted perforated with silver PC arrived in my office this morning along with a bag of samples. Good god that double weave is good looking.

Holy smokes - my grille may be up for sale - unless you offer an upgrade kit.

Got the new staggered hole with Rivits from beastlick today. Soon as UPS dropped it off, I got the bumper off and starting getting to work. I LOVE THE NEW LOOK!!!!

Thanks for all your hard work Beastlick on designing this, and putting the time into getting it right!

Now, I really need to black out that damn gold bowtie.. Really sticks out now.

 

[Beastlick]

Looks great with the blue! It arrived a day early too!

 

[ShawnB]

It did! Went on pretty well, had trouble getting two clips to snap in place, broke one lol. But it's on and secure. Snapped two of the three fender clips on both sides too lol. But All good.

 

[sbelljr]

Anyone have a source (link, part number, cost) of a clip removal tool for the front bumper? It seems they are easily broken.

 

[ShawnB]

I used plastic trim removal tools, still broke two of the three lol. I think it's just the way Gm designed it.

It is a really weird design. The part on the bumper is maybe 1/8" of plastic which rips so easily. Luckily there is a screw going right up in that area to hold it tight if you do break them.

I like the diamond shaped one thats a little more open than the rest, thats what i been looking for.
