Carbon Fiber 91-92 Grill installed :)
So I found a member recently that was making a Carbon Fiber grill for his own camaro... I said I had to have one, and PMed him begging to make more. After a few weeks he decided that he would. I am the first one on the site to get a grill delivered, and wanted to show everyone!
Here is a couple pics of it on the car...
I need to take the car out of the garage, and clean it up for some real pics, but didn't have time last night
More pics to come!
For those that want one I know he is already behind schedule making some for other members, but you can PM him for more information on cost and time.

Re: Carbon Fiber 91-92 Grill installed :)
I'm pretty sure after he gets the first run of them finished he will do more. Its something he does in his spare time. I'm sure he needs to make sure its worth it. PM him
It very well made. It doesn't quite fit as tight as the original GM piece, but not noticeable to most people standing in front of it. Figure that is because it is from a mold of the original.

Re: Carbon Fiber 91-92 Grill installed :)
Looks pretty cool, cant wait to get mine. But it looks like its like .5" too short. Is there really a massive gap between the grille and the bumper at the top?

Re: Carbon Fiber 91-92 Grill installed :)

Re: Carbon Fiber 91-92 Grill installed :)
Yes, a totally new part completely made from REAL carbon fiber.
I bet it will look ok and save some money... still close but no cigar type thing. I honestly don't care for the hydrodipped CF look, no depth to it, so instantly looks fake.

Man, huge bummer on the fit and finish. I will be disappointed if mine comes back looking like that.

Re: Carbon Fiber 91-92 Grill installed :)
Yeah I wish it would have fit tighter to the top. Maybe yours will be a tighter fit. I don't understand how it could be different, really, cause my GM unit is tight, and this was a mold of one? Maybe there was a couple different runs of the original grills?

Re: Carbon Fiber 91-92 Grill installed :)
Either way though that is a really cool piece!! how flexible is it, maybe a strip of good double sided tape(3M) could attached to the top of the bumper?

Re: Carbon Fiber 91-92 Grill installed :)
I had a spare grille that fit like that at the top, it was a gm unit. Im thinkin it came off a sagging bumper or something.

Re: Carbon Fiber 91-92 Grill installed :)
The fit is not bad on black, I wonder if it would be more noticeable on a lighter color car; either way its a good looking part

The resin looks like its got a lot of defects in it... is that just the lighting? Cool piece, nonetheless.

Thanks man. I have pics plastered all over the site from through the years. Search my screen name I'm sure you'll find what you need. I don't have access to my pics at the moment.
