Hi Guys,
Does anyone have an idea of what these NOS grills are worth?

Thanks.
Greg

Honestly it's pretty difficult to say. If you research online, the hood grill for example you find it priced at even USD 650 or more, but I haven't come across anyone wanting to pay that kind of money for it.

The lower one I sold last year for around USD 100. Again, hard to tell you. If you're selling, I'd just post it at what you're willing to let it go for and people will make offers.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but if anyone has a solution for the lower bumper grill Im interested. More precisely what I need is the aluminium trim surrounding the grill... Thanks!

It's all one part, unfortunately. You might be able to get someone to wrap it for you with some brushed aluminium wrap.

IIRC it's a layer of silver plastic that is deposited on the black plastic of the grill. I don't know how it adheres, but I bet it peels off.

Someone had poorly sprayed the silver trim black on mine so I just pulled the black outer bit of trim off the lower grill as it annoyed me. I don't actually think it looks too bad without it

I'm in need of the lower grille, PO had a radar detector installed where they cut out 2 slots in the griller for the receivers, that and the outer silver trim is missing. Looks hooptie.

I posted a wanted ad in the classifieds but got bombarded with scam messages where they post 1 or 2 random comments in different model forums to try and make it look like they're legit owners, then send you google images of about 5 wrong grilles. I got some hilarious answers when I requested simple confirmation photos like the grill up next to the screen showing my post. Ill try to find one.

For those in the know how much would that cost in a 3D printing facility?
Front bumper comes to mind as well, I had a hard time finding one at some point.

I keep looking at the front bumper and wings/fenders wanting to pull them off to make molds, which I've participated in before. They need paint correction anyway, and the mold making process isn't destructive. But I also want to drive the car and my track record of procrastinating before and during tasks is consid............................erable.
