Welcome to the madhouse! There are some vendors with different grilles or you could make one. Check out the How To: section, you can do alot with out spending alot. Or you could just buy the new SS/TC grille

Welcome to

Water from A/C should not be getting into the car. The drain for it may be clogged from debris.

Here is a thread that shows how to make a grille.

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...ht=mesh+grille

Or go to the very top of the page and click on links. There should be a supporting vendor with some grilles there.

This is the only one you will find unless you do it yourself. It would cost less than $50 to do it yourself though.

If you want to make them, you can get the mesh for like $2 at Home Depot. It's called "Gutter Gaurd". That's what I used. I put "COBALT" on my lower grill instead of "SS".

Thanks! It took a while to peel the covers off, but well worth the effort.

I should have said lenses. The whole front clear cover comes off with a bit of heat on the glue/silicone. Once I got those off I painted the chrome bezels black and removed the yellow lenses on the turn signals. I also used Nightshadez on the sidemarkers (the other amber lens on the side). I used amber turn signal bulbs that look blue when they are off. It's a pretty good do-it-yourself project that didn't cost alot of money, but changed the apperance dramatically.
