LT painted grills, the way it should be

Well i hit a coyote in my cobalt and had to get my front end repainted and decided to get it done right. My car originally had the one piece bumper, so i had one with grills installed, the grills sanded and painted all professionally. I had not seen pictures of this done, somebody may have it and i did not search enough. let me know what you all think.









08 LT, 5speed, Magnaflow cat back exhaust, k/n filter with hacked intake box, soon fo have foglights when i can find some.

Where can you get those fog light cover inserts, not sure what it's called. I have a G5 and it looks like that except for the holes for the fog lights.

i tried taking the light to them due to condensation and they blamed me for wrecking it (which i did) because i took that stupid funnel off my airbox. i get a rough ride from local dealers due to the car being bought out of province.

theres the pic, think mine looks a little different. I kind of wonder why i am the first one to do this as the two stock choices are pretty bad imo. thought the black looks too unfinished and the one piece bumper just looked cheap. SS bumper nice but it was just wrong and was too much money (insurance sponsored my job)

I know that the bodyshop that did the work got the grills from the gm dealership parts counter. i paid 114 cdn for all three grills so i am sure that just the two with fog lights are cheaper. 35 a piece i remember being told.

Thinking of saving up for the gmpp lit kit now, well putting in hid projectors first (theres a reason i have not cared about the condensed headlight)

I think that's such a simple mod to do. I don't think the black would have looked bad with your blue. I think it's sharp body matching.
