Chrome grille insert question.

Last week at the M/V Rally, one of the SSR's had chrome grille inserts.
These inserts were chrome, NOT stainless.
Does anyone know who the owner of that SSR is?

I'd like to order a set for my SSR but I cannot find them on our forums or on E-bay.

Any help would be appreciated.

You should post a picture of the SSR or even mention the color of the one you saw.
Is the SSR posted on the Maggie Valley Picture thread?

Severeal types

Look like mine? Ebay. I think Gary had some too. Around $100. vetteman62 - 4th down on our venders list. Florida Stainless Steel. He has more bling for the buck than any vendor I do business with. pm Gary. I got my chrome 'Chevrolet' grille piece from him too.............(of course if you use the above Search engine, you can read how to install and other tips for the inserts. Some very funny methods and means for install. copchris!)

Ask Alex, the King of Bling. He would probably know who and where and how much.

I'm not positive, but I believe that it was fanatic "Handyman Fowler" (redline SSR with matching trailer) that had the chrome grille inserts.

Good Morning....HarleyGuy!

I got mine from grill4you. The e-mail address is grill4u@hotmail.com

The grill pieces weren't too badly priced but shipping & handling was a little pricey..still less than $100.00.

These are chrome --not stainless steel.

Gary,
The link below is from the grille4u site. According to the description it's a black satin powder coating with a shining polished face. Is your set all chrome?

I got 'em.

I ordered the three grille inserts from Grille4u.

I think it was $80 bucks delivered. You can't beat that.

Some gap.

In the "middle" insert on the set that I got.
The "V" could be a little "steeperer/deeper" but then again, it could be the OEM fascia that's off a bit.

Either way, I can live with it

Try this ...This came with mine...Gary... Vetteman62...Here on the forum...


Hi,

I am adding these suggestions to the Instructions that come with the grilles.

To me, the grilles look better if they are mounted flush or slightly protruding. This covers up your paint.

In order to do this, you will need something to use as spacers and longer screws. You may need from 1/4" to 1/2" of spacers to get the look as shown in my pictures. The longer the screws, the easier to install because of attaching the nut easier.

I also had to bend my grilles to form to the curvature of my SSR

slightly. I have found that some do not have to be bent at all

during our installations here.

The bottom two are not any problem to bend but the top one has two bars cut out so you will have to be very careful if you have to bend it so it does not buckle in two. If it does, just use care to use

something that will not scratch the billet in order to pry the two middle bars open and straight. I used a large wood paint stick.

If I can help you with any questions, just call me on my cell phone,

727 207-2575 or email me at gpeter99@tampabay.rr.com

I am sure that you will be very happy with your new look.

Thanks,

Gary
