By the way, that's not a V grille. It's a mesh grille. The '09 CTS-V has a smaller grille with different type of "mesh" WhtDmnd04CTS 02-25-08, 11:25 PM a bunch of people have the mesh grille already
i really really don't like the back.. looks gross in my opinion Ron Price 02-26-08, 02:10 AM I have the grille but don't have the fog lights and back end treatment. Lighting was very bad and just before snow last fall.

a wire mesh grille like that, but black
i think that'd look awesome on a black car.. IMO NOT ON MY WATCH 02-26-08, 01:01 PM Grill looks nice, but I would not want that lower bumper portion painted - it is bound to get messed up! spaceman78 02-26-08, 01:07 PM i am likeing that caddy more and more****** RightTurn 02-26-08, 01:18 PM I like how they smoothened and painted the plastic body color.

I also like the exhaust tips. dwight.j.carter 02-26-08, 01:52 PM Looks nice on the front but not the back. urbanski 02-26-08, 01:56 PM oh my the rear looks like shit RQFinMD 02-26-08, 02:11 PM I have to agree about the rear treatment. It's a case of tampering too much with what makes the CTS so beautiful to behold. "Mesh overload"...LOL! Trijicon 02-26-08, 02:20 PM I really think the rear looks much better in person than the pictures show... Might be a little much around the lic plate. I do like the mesh in the lower section tho... Also the exhaust tips are a nice touch.
Here is another shot of the rear.

I have to be candid and say that I hated this aftermarket grill when I first saw it as a replacement for the 2008 OEM grill. I am/was of the opinion that the Cadillac did a stellar design job on the 08 CTS OEM grill.
But after seeing th lower and completely oversized lower mesh grill on the upcoming 2009 CTSV; I have to say that this E&G Classics 08+ CTS mesh grill is stellar in appearance.
I would have much rather seen the upcoming 09 CTSV with this type of mesh grill where the appearance is much more balanced...IMO.
I do agree with Urb: the back is overkill and the OEM offering is just perfect. Trijicon 02-26-08, 08:02 PM I just verified that this is a E&G grille. z06bigbird 02-26-08, 08:10 PM Smoothened - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Can I get an "amen?" :lol: It's awful. pietroraimondi 02-26-08, 08:41 PM Amen....RT! |
