Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Aesthetics I need a new SVT grill

Anyone have an extra SVT (or aftermarket) grill they want to sell?

My SVT had a 60mph argument with a flying garbage-can-lid-sized chuck of fiber-board and, like a good secret service agent, the front grill sacrificed it's life for the greater good of the sheetmetal. How I got by without any paint damage is beyond me.

I doubled back to recover the grill and most if not all of its connectors are broken. It looks pretty much beyond salvage at this point.

Well, as i recall a new front grill is only about $30-35 new from the dealership, so its not that bad of an expense. But you might be able to find one from a salvage yard or something. Those places can come in really handy!!

Shoot, if you're gunna spend $130 for a new grill, really splurge and get the stainless one from BAT for $240. But then you'd have to shell out a few more bucks to paint the trim ring. But I imagine that it would look pretty darn sweet.

I know I know, but it's leased! I'd still have to drop another $130 for an "original" grill before I turned it in.

Turn it in?? You're not gonna buy out the lease and make that your sunday driver?
What are your payments? I'll trade ya if they're below 300.
