Front Upper Cobalt Grille!!!

Ok here's the problem! I'm searching since 1-2 hours for a plain upper grille like this...



I was wondering where I can find one of this grille because it's sick! If there's no place where I can get one is it because these grille is made from the bumper directly with some mesh grille in the hole and if it's the case how can I make on of these with this good looking finish?!

The only way to do it is make it custom.

Damn... and is there a way that I can make an outline to the bumper so that the hole gets smaller?! With something in plastic I can paint or rubber?! I don't know...

use the chrome outline of the ltz without the actual grill in it and just like bondo it or whatever into the bumper.

the chrome part of this. I would just cut the bumper bar going across and move it up some more. Would have to custom fabricate some extension the the bar going across so that it would reach both sides but imo it wouldnt be that hard. Just sand down the part where the chevy emblem goes too.

Looks like the lower SS/TC grille upside down might work. I'm guessing tho

That does look kinda cool! Not sure what I have back there tho, being a 2.0SC. Wouldn't it look better maybe with a grill? But I agree, looks sick on your car
