i love the look of the s/c with no lower grill. i was wandering if it is hard to take out and there are any dangers of removing it? i either want to remove it or put another grille there instead.

 

The SS/SCs come without a grille stock. So you don't have to remove anything because there is nothing there. I personaly like having something there so I made my own. Here is a pic.

 

well i have an SS n/a so thats why i have something there. i love that mesh though! how did you do that?

 

If you take out the grille... ya' oughta sell it on Classifieds... I'm gonna be wanting one soon.

 

Oh sorry bro, my fault. Either way it's just a couple plastic pins that hold the grille on. It should be able to be easily removed.

All I did was go to Home Depot and buy a big square of mesh kind of like gutter guard and cut it to fit. Instead of using those plastic pins I replaced them with stainless steal bolts. Here is a link on exactly how to do it. That should help.

Check out Mr. grille or Gravana,they have some nice grills. or just make your own mesh grill,there are some good how to dos' on the forum

 

ok cool thanx! what do you think would look good with the sunburst orange? a black mesh or silver mesh?

 

can u remove the bottom grille from the ls

 

Please sell it to me!

 

why do you want it? i think it looks alot cooler without it, but ive been seeing alot of S/Cs on the road with the lower grill. i guess they figure its just gonna flood cuz its been raining for like 2 weeks straight around here lol.

 

The lower grille is a safety issue... with that big opening there are a lot of things that can get in down there... rocks... animals... etc. Could do some major damage to the radiator/AC condenser/whatever that thing is hanging down there.

I don't understand why GM didn't put the lower grille in the SS/SC...

 

yep, had my car for a week now and the radiator is FULL of bugs!

 

hmm maybe ill try a black mesh grille. i cant find any for sale though.

 

I'll be joining that club soon enough too. Lower grille is definately #1 on my list.

 

i looked at the how to. but im not sure if it will work like that cuz i dont have that lower piece on my fron bumper.

 

If anyone is looking for a lower grille, Crutchfield.com has a nice lower grille. I got that for my SS and I bought the upper one so that it matched and it looks nice. I posted some pics a few week back.

 

You already have what looks best on orange IMHO.
One of the first mods I did was to buy the lower grill.
I think on an orange car the stock grills look way better than a billet or mesh grill.

I may paint mine a darker black eventually, but I love the way it looks.

Just my .02

 

Mine was full of squirrel after a week, so bugs aren't so bad, lol

But yes, the lower grill should be on the to-do list for all SC owners.
