Alright....I dont have a pic right now of what's missing..but I'll be happy to tend to gtting one....
In this attached picture, it would be the lower left corner (I've circled it)......
There seem to be two black plastic pieces that are missing from that side of the lower grill. The driver side has these two black plastic pieces...
Anyone know how to fix this?? or what it would take to fix it?? It looks as tho the plastic pieces are broken underneath..which would lead me to believe...a whole new lower portion is needed...
Any ideas???? |

Any ideas???? | It is actually one black piece for each side. It is just a piece of plastic that dosent really do anything... I would think you might be hard pressed trying to find just that piece. If I were you, I would pop out the driver side one and be done with it. They just snap in and out.
If you look close in this pic you can see the pieces on both sides of my car.  |

Good call..I thought about that...but behind it...at least on the pass. side...there's some little other black plastic pieces that you can see...and it looks like crap. Although you'd have to get down on your hands an knees to actually see it...I kNOW it's there..and it bothers me.
I think i'll do that.....just take the drivers side out.......i just need someone else to tell me what to do...even when I think of it myself...lol |

When I had those pieces out I was gonna leave them out, but I do kknow what you mean my being able to see something in there... Thats why I put them back in there... I guess thats why Cadillac put them there in the first place... But like u said, unless someone goes around your car on hands and knees you cant see it... |

Just another thread to show another pic of your car, eh Steve? Oh, nothing wrong with it, we need more threads! More picture!!!
BTW, I took both of the little black panels of mine. One was cracked and the dealer wouldnt sell em to me. It looks fine without it though |

I shit you not I just threw mine away a week ago. They had been in my trunk since the end of last summer.... I would have given them to you for free. IIRC I gave the ones off my 03 to a member here...... |

alex, you can pop them out & put them back on in a heart beat.
my driver side one is out, like mentioned before, to get more cool air up to the CAI.
i have a lower grille in the bumper cover, so i dont have to worry about it being unsightly with only 1 side in. | | Cadillac Discussion Tools | | |
