dude, ive been waiting 3 weeks for the bumper clips that hold the grill into the bumper. apparently they are being made in somolia by little asian kids in a sweatshop. the dealer called me today to say he reordered them again, since no one knows where they are at.

On the upside, the front bumper i used to have was picked up and paid for today. $500 =)

well--in the spirit of sharing, give us the part numbers involved so we can get going on the same conversions-the clips we can handle!

Yea how bout it K STS. PLEASE.

I can share the part list that I have gotten so far.


11562364 - Grill clips

21030249 - Grill Retainer-these are the black plastic pins that you can get a box of 25 for $5 at clipsandfastners.com and a couple other stores.

25786156 - Lower bumper support Right

25786157 - Lower bumper support Left

25802476 - Front air deflector (scoop, bottom cover)

25786167 - Lower air deflector

11517103 - Stud with knurled shielder

11517102 - Nut hex M6x1x15

10121502 - Black nylon retainer- these too are plastic "riged pins"

11561674 - Bolt hex M6x1x20

When I went to the dealer the price for all of this including 25 of the grill clips(which is how many you need), and two of the bolts and nuts, etc. came to $480. I found all of the parts online for $295 after shipping.

On top of that you will need, a front bumper cover, upper and lower grill(stock or E&G etc.), if you get an E&G grill you will need the trim that goes around the upper and lower grill because you will not have a stock one to take it off of. I found grill trim from carid that is supposed to look better and go over stock trim. And for the bottom grill trim, I got a stock grill coming from a junk yard in cali. from lkqcorp

This is my first post, I just joined this site yesterday.
Regulator, I agree with you! My caddy has the drilled holes in the front bumper and I hate it. My car came from New York to Indiana, with just 30,000 miles. I love her.

I have a 05-0. Front bumper cover for sale with NO LICENSE PLATE HOLES. It's black and in VERY good condition. Could be painted any color. Needs no body work.

snumfan1, I am interested in the front bumper cover you have for sale...
I have a 2005 STS black (with not a spot on her right now!). Since I am new here, still learning the lingo! What does 05-0 mean?

[snum1fan]

Sorry I meant 05 through 07.
