  • Pics of my car (SS look-a-like), Billet Grille Question







    Just some quick pics of my car just washed it real quick still have never waxed it which I'll probably do soon. Same with polishing my wheels they look horrid.


    Now to the Question, I got a billet grille but damned if I know how the thing is supposed to be installed. Came with 4 zip ties but the directions basically said "Put grille on car" which I already knew. They mentioned drilling holes in the grille already there but I don't know how you'd get it on there and tighten them as I don't see any real access to that frontal area. If someone could shed some light on that subject I'd be greatly appreciative.

      when i got mine there was 4 little holes in the grill. so i had to drill the part that says "camaro" and just screw it in. there was little plates with holes in them.

      very nice car! i also see that its a '97. nice job converting!

                  You took some nice pictures with neat effects. I like the way you got the moon in the one, and the headlights of a passing car in the other.

                        The grille is a "Mr. Grille" billet grille, looked at their site no detailed instructions on it. I may look for small enough screws they do have holes inbetween the billet where one would run the tie straps, perhaps I can find screws small enough and attach it that way.

                        The lights are stock, whatever comes with a stock 98'. Just a slightly longer exposure and color correction for incadecent sort of makes them look HID or Xenon.



                        I appreciate the positive comments towards my photos hard picking a hobby as photography costs just as much as cars and occasionally I have thoughts of quitting on or the other. Hopefully I'll have some freetime soon and I can get out and take some real nice pics these were just some quick snapshots while I was out with a girl but it got to cold to do much more. When I do go out though I'll provide you guys with full res 1600x1200 desktop wallpapers.

                          Mine had four little holes on the supporting parts of the grille and came with 4 screws. It said to drill holes in the bumper but I don't like the word drill so I took a screw driver, pushed down hard and screwed it into the bumper [img]smile.gif[/img] . I figured if I drilled it wouldn't be threaded in the so I wouldn't be able to take it off if I didn't like it, lol. I was glad I did this because when I first put it on I didn't like it because you could see the stock part of the bumper clearly through it so it looked like my car had braces, lol. I painted that part of the bumper black and put it back on and I think it looks 1000000 times better now [img]smile.gif[/img]

                              So what year is your car? Your sig says 97 but that front end looks newer. I would love to have headlights like yours.
