Custom Front Grill
When I was looking to buy mt C5 I saw a C3 with a billet front grill that went all the way across the front, with breaks on either side of where the license plate was, but that was grilled too. I am now shopping for a C3 and I'm in the works of purchasing a 74, anyone know what I'm talking about?

I have seen the metal '74 grills sell for upwards of $400 on Ebay, and a few after market places used to sell black plastic grills that fit several years. However, I have not seen them in any catalogs and buying one off of a used car is about the best way to get one.

The center grilles easily go over $400... However, if you keep an eye out you might be able to find one for under $300. Just about a week ago I saw one on ebay go for $230 (read HUGE BARGAIN).
Sounds to me that you want a '73 grille. They are the same as a '74 except the '73 has the chrome edge with the black fins.

I think anyone whe has a 73/74 will eventually face some grille issues. I would like to think someone will reproduce these parts at some point. Has anyone successfully had theirs replated, and by whom?

i saw a white c-3 that had a custom grill made. i think it was a 74. i am going to be making one similar for my c-3. i cut out the front bumper in the center to make a single opening for the grill.
