Thanks for the responses. I assumed that the 2022 is the same spec size, just not listed yet. I would also agree that I'm better off spending a few extra bucks and getting the grills from Custom Car Grilles rather than President Zhi of China.

Am I correct that I can ship them to Shane at the NCM and he can get them installed (at my cost) so my C8 will be ready for the road trip home?

Thanks again guys. These boards are invaluable.

yes indeed. the NCM PDI folks installed my Custom Car Grills prior to my arriving there. When I ordered them I listed the NCM as the ship to address and Shane Webb as the receiver. I think they charged me $50 to install. more than worth it. When you get there a nice lady will let you know what you owe them and she will run your card through for any items they installed. They also need the parts to arrive at the NCM no later than one week before your scheduled delivery date. You can send them earlier than that.

Agree, $50 is cheap! Although not difficult to install, it is time consuming.

No hard data but that thicker plastic would “appear” more restrictive to me than the thin aluminum Custom Car zGrill. It is their business!
