where did you get it for 60 bucks?! most ive seen are like 90, Ive been wanting to do that for the longest time but never got around to it. Ill order one asap if its only 60 bucks. And do you cut the whole front part off? Or do you just cut a hole in the front part? Thanks, looks GREAT

Oh and how much did it cost to get it painted?

I see 50resto sells just the grill for 35 bucks, no elbme, instructions, or adhesive. Can you get the double sided tape from somewhere else? Id want to cut out the center piece so its just an open grill.

yea you just cut a hole to where it slids in perfect, once you see it in person you'll understand. That link is the same one i ordered. I got it painted for free tho, so i dont no how much a shop would charge. All it comes with is the plastic insert and the emblem. I got double sided tape from the hardware store, only a couple of bucks.

I know I am going to get slammed for this, but I had a body shop install / paint mine, $250.00, worth every penny IMO.

I think every GT should have it. I hate looking at a solid piece of plastic on the gt front bumper.

Please paint them off the car, I cant stand seeing bumpers, inserts, door handles still on the car when it comes to painting it. Goes for a much cleaner looking paint job. Looks good from far but up close you can see poor taping. Do it the way the factory did it, with everything off the car.
