Just did some looking, and the places I looked, don't have the Ruby Red, it's a premium color, with the tinted clearcoat, that might be why. At any rate, the next time I go to town, I'll take the shrouds over to the guy that did my grille. Hang on to your seats, he only charged me $100 to do a perfect job on that, I'll gladly pay him the same for the shrouds.

Well, that's a horse of a different color. Lol. If someone else is doing the work, bring him the bumper insert and the mirrors.

LOL, I See what ya did there!
That's not a bad idea, I've been kicking around going back to the OEM insert though, I'm thinking the one on there just makes the front too flat. Just thinking right now.

Joe, does that lower grille just have the bars, or is it solid? I've been thinking of going that way, but the ones I've seen are solid. I've got an Egoboost, so I have to think of cooling.
I wasn't totally sold on this grille I put on there, maybe if I wanted a bullbar or something, it would look better, but don't want that either.

I had thought about buying one like Joe has too, if it is solid you could always cut the pieces between the slats out.

Ya, that crossed my mind. It wouldn't be that difficult. I'm heading downstate this morning, maybe this afternoon I'll stop over at a dealer, and see what I can see.
