So the other night after having a few drinks apparently I decided to order a V Grill off of Ebay. It arrived today. 
Out with the old.. 
And new hotness.
This is it freshly unpacked from its box. 
It is a genuine GM part too, brand new from GM.
This weekend I'll finally be able to take off the stealies in the rear and put the stock wheels back on. I don't expect any more significant snowfall this year so I shouldn't need the snow tires.
The difference in appearance from the stock grille to the V grill is HUGE IMO. The car looks so much more classy than it did before. I'm very happy with the upgrade.       
And here she was stock. 
And where she sleeps at night next to her neighbors.  
Next I want to do the sport package spoiler and exhaust tips. It's almost there. |

87Vert, I paid $350 with shipping for the V grille. It's a GM part, has a part # stamped onto it. I bought it from jenningschevrolet in Illinois. I ordered it Sunday night, and got it today! |

Grill looks good though! |

Phew dodged a bullet with that one. When I get drunk and dont know what I did, I wake up to the surprise of a 250lb chick, or someone who looks like they got their face kicked in, smart move! |

I always liked the stock grill better. Your pictures are making me think...different.
Looks really nice. Although I can't trust myself right now either, I'm doing Sierra Nevada.  | | Cadillac Discussion Tools | | |
