Where can I get a chrome grille....

[alucard76]

Just the one that snaps on. Not interested in removing anything or cutting anything. I actually love the default grille, I just want it chromed. Also, where can I get emblems, and how do i replace the ones on my rear and on my front grille? I saw somewhere some small wing emblems that look cool.

Thanks so much for any help.

I don't think there's any "snap-on" chrome grills. The easiest way is to remove the front fascia. Literally takes 15 minutes or less. Here's a link for the removal of the front fascia and grill install.
Grill installation and fascia removal 101 (lotsa pics)

And even though I know you're probably saying to yourself: "I can't do that, I don't know the first thing about bumper removals or grill installations" or " I don't have the patience/time/skill to do this."

Well - I am severely retarded when it comes to this stuff and it was a cinch. Very easy process. I strongly encourage you to buy a nice chrome grill and install it via the process of the fascia removal.

As for the badges.. or emblems.. you can get them through billettechnology.com

For the front emblem, if you buy an aftermarket grill most will come with out a badge or have one but it's not pre-attached. If you purchase a badge from Billet Technology, you just place the badge on using the adhesive that comes with it.

As for the rear "wing". You can not replace it with anything smaller than what is already there because after you remove the wing you will be left with two holes in the trunk roughly 10 inches apart. Billet Technology also makes custom wings.
To remove the wing you can do one of two things:
1. Heat the wing with a hairdryer or heat gun until you can gently pull it off.
2 Using fishing line in a sawing motion to "saw" behind the wing through the adhesive


Hope I helped.

I think this is what your are looking for.

Removing and reinstalling the stock grille is very easy. The only hard part is dealing with the 4 screws along the bottom of the grille. But these 4 screws can be left off and are not required because there are plenty of other screws and clips holding the grille on the car.
If you want a better quality all chrome grille then get the Heritage Edition grille.

Those four screws are the reason why it is best to take off the front fascia.

Believe me, once you take off the front fascia, install your new grill, and put the fascia back on in under 45 min. - you'll think back to this thread and realize how right I am and how easy it was.

I'd like to get people's opinion on the Chrome Grill Overlay. Is it really "snap on"? Is US Speed the best place to get it? Finally, how does it look in general (I've seen pics but never live). Can you really notice the difference? I've been looking and I'm personally not a big fan of the Bentley / mesh style grills. Any thoughts?

Thanks to all.

i haven't seen one ON a car. but i've seen a stock grill very similar that was "chromed out." the grill wasn't on the car but from what I saw, the chrome that was put on didn't match the chrome that was on the OEM grill.

IMHO.. i'd get an aftermarket grill.. it makes ur car that much more unique. There are hundreds of various grill designs.. not just the bentley/mesh styles.

Personally i'd suggest the GRIP grill from GRIP Tuning.. by the far the nicest, most unique grill i've seen.

Here is another pic of the overlay.
This site says it is a simple snap on grille.

Happened to see the grille on ebay for a much lower price of $85 including shipping.
