Highly considering doing this and making a custom grill just curious if anyone can give me some insight on the difficulty of removing it. It doesn't look too hard but looks can be deceiving.
Thanks

 

Looks terrible. Look at the GriP body kit. Best thing to do with drill out the grill and put mess in and leave the cross bar.

 

^^^i agree

 

DO NOT DO IT!!!!!!!!! take my advice. I had the GM chrome grille on mine and i lost it in an accident so now i have this "crossmember delete" Trust me its ugly heres a pic for u to puke a little bit on


g5 grille in the mail to fix this
the only thing you can do is cut it an then regret cutting you bumper up

 

https://www.cobaltss.net/gallery/fil...4/dsc00009.jpg this is what i was thinking of. im not really searching for opinions on how it would look cause thats the advantage of it being my car i can do what i want.i just wanna know how difficult it would be.

 

It sounds so good in theory, but nobody has bone it right yet. Namely, making a hybrid grill from the SS/TC one, with honeycomb covering the entire opening. And an SS logo in the lower driver side corner.

I have thought about this a LOT haha

I think it would be easy to do using both the upper and lower TC grilles, by cutting the middle out of the top, and replacing it with a strip from the lower grill. I'm down to help out if you wanna do this Aaron.

 

This would look great if someone did it right.

 

i was thinking about using hardware cloth with 1/4in openings and painting it black then putting the bowtie in the center of it.

 

Nah. This is gonna be a project. Epoxy, sanding, painting. It'll look seamless if done right. And it has to retain that gray plastic piece that covers the hood latch.

If you don't do this Aaron, i will haha

 

or we both will and of course it will be done right. yea i was thinking cutting the slots on the grill and keeping its frame that way the grill is removable

 

haha, i'm down. We gotta find some loaner TC grills....

 

Make it happen!

 

i wanna use hardware cloth (wire mesh) i think it would look cleaner. well meet up one day soon to brainstorm the idea more and figure out everything were going to need.

 

ok cool. The mesh shouldn't be too hard.

 

I know who to look for when my grills are missing

 

is that a shot at me being mexican hahah

 

i will deny everything. Plus i hid your interceptor wiring haha

 

you just hid it better that I did lol

 

cuz i r teh master. And king of the clown bike haha

 

clown bike???

 

just need to master the swing bike now haha

I have a clown bike and a trippy dual steering swing bike

 

ive been thinking about this for a while now. if you guys can pull it off nice and clean i will do as well. unless i get impatient. lol.

 

i dont know, i dont think it will look good. The overall grill will be too large for that section of the car. It just looks odd. Im looking at the other people that did it and picturing the SS/TC grill there, and still i cant see it doing it any more justice. It reminds me of a body kit that adds extra holes in areas that it doesnt need holes. This is all IMO, and Ls1 if you **** y0 car up im gonna kill you

 

i wanna see these bikes. and this is gonna happen well make sure its clean will wont let me mess it up haha

 

That just doesnt look right to me. With the SS/TC grills it will look much better, but i still dont think it looks as good as if you just had that cross beam painted the same exact color as the grills to make it sort of blend and not stand out as much as stock


Edit: Due to further investigation and picture gathering, i retract my previous statement. I need to see a well put together photoshop. I would do myself if my photoshop didnt expire. Untill i crack it, i need some help here. I think it may be able to look good since the gaps not as tall as i pictured in a head on shot
