I've noticed that, in perusing for a custom grille, the E&G Engineering Stainless "Z" Grille is one of the only available billet grilles for the 2000-2001 Catera.

Question is, I've got a Platinum Sport, and the emblem/crest for it is black/silver...I'd love to score a color crest, like the ones available for the recent CTS grilles, but the only replacement crest/wreaths I've found are the OEM for my model.

Anyone know of any other custom grilles out there for the 2000-01 Sport, or any way I could get a color crest instead of a silver/black one?

Thanks,
Jay

The only other place is Europe, and those dont have Cadillac symbols. They have Opel.

You could go to Ebay, buy a new age emblem and find someway to mount it in the current ones' spot.

That's very disheartening.

Although, I noticed on the newgmparts.com that there's two selections for grilles, a chrome and a black chrome...anyone have any pics of the differences? I figure since mine's a Platinum pkg, it would have the chrome grille...just curious if the black chrome version would look niftier.
Here's the link--

I dont recall them ever having two types of grille. Although that may not be so, i suppose you could see if it is different. You could also have your current grille powder coated and so on, at say a paint shop.

There's not a platinum package as far as i know. We all have non-coloured crests. Including me.

This car is based on a european model, practically nothing is available in the US -exterior appearance wise, and performance.

Thanks for the FYI, Jeff.

Looks like it'll stay black and silver. :crybaby:
