Default Center plate holder delete

Hi I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I'm looking for one of these center plate holder replacements that look like the side grilles. http://www.vetteweb.com/tech/vemp_09.../photo_31.html I've seen them for the 75-79 before even had the website bookmarked and was gonna order it soon as i got my 77 vette out again. Well I'm getting her out this spring, but I have since redone my pc after a virus and lost the site. Been searching and will continue, still my hopes are getting low as I seen it years ago and can't seem to find the site or part.

Thanks for reading, BOOT

As a fellow 77 owner I never gave this any thought, but I too would be interested in a grill replacement instead of a plate.

I tried searching "Corvette front center grille" and "C3 center grille"

I came up with this link so far.... not the correct years, and the prices are all over the place but its something. I will keep looking.

Corvette Grilles !

You've lost me. The 73 in your link is running stock grilles, including the center.

I think what you want is aftermarket called Grille Mate or similar.
