Re: Grille help please

I put an OEM grille in my '87 a few years ago. LMC was the last company I knew of that carried them, but they have since been discontinued from their catalog. I had to buy mine, and the bowtie, from the local Chevy dealer.

Re: Grille help please

It may not be as terrible as you think. I dug up my receipt from '06. The list price of the grille was $156.77, and the emblem was $34.78. My cost was $143.64 and $28.09, respectively. I would think that in the past five years that the price would have gone up some, but you won't know until you call and check. It also wouldn't hurt to check with more than one dealer, some won't give you a discount and some will.

Re: Grille help please

So a dealer would be my best bet?

Re: Grille help please

As far as I know, it's the only option. Unless you don't mind looking on Craigslist and e-Bay waiting for a NOS grille to show up.
