Anyone know where to get a good deal on a billet grille...and also what exactly is the difference between polished and brushed? Thanks in advance.

 

I got one from JC Whitney for $79 and the billet bumper insert for $39. Kind of a pain to install but sure looks good. The difference between polished and brushed is the brushed has a rougher dull appearence.

 

which did you go with...brushed or polished? Thanks for the previous post.

 

You don't happen to remember the Part #'s do you? Also...do you know who the manufacturer is? Stull perhaps?

 

Polished is....polished like your polished aluminum rims or chrome bumpers. Brushed is duller, like a grey matt finish.

Be careful when trying to save $ on a grille. Some of those cheap ones ty-wrap over the existing grille, and they look like you saved some some cash. You will get what you pay for.

The best quality, true billet grilles are made by Stull Industries and Carriage Works. They look almost identical. Word is, Stull is having some production issues, the Carriage Works may be quicker to get.

I've got a Stull Brushed Billet grill on my SS. I absolutely love it! I was able to pick it up from Carparts.com for about $60 shipped. I wonder if they stock them for Lightnings as well?
