How hard would it be to change the front grille of a 2001 Pontiac SE ? Now by grille I mean that plastic mesh thing that is in the front of the car. I was looking at it this morning and I see it looks very simple to take out. Now my question is what could I put in it'* place ? Do they have anything that custom fits there or would I have to do it myself. I'm sure they have some mesh that I could buy somewhere and throw it in there. Anybody have any ideas ? :?

Does anyone have any ideas or has anyone did something like this. My friend has a Grand Prix and he did something like this but they had something custom made for his car.

I haven't seen anyone do this on the newer style bonnevilles.
I've done something similar to my 1994 SE. I just bought some stainless steel mesh for home depot.

I guess that would work.Did you have to cut and fit it into your grille ? It looks nice. I would like to do that to my car because I haven't seen anything like that on the newer models.

yes, i had to cut the mesh sheet and also the factory honey comb and emblem out.

yeah im probably gonna do that mod pretty soon here. I think it'd look sweet with my split grill in the front due to it being 96-99 SSE style. zzzzzeke, i think it'd be cool if u got a pic from behind ur grill showing how you mounted it in.

naw its a trade secret
ahh maybe if i get around to it but i don't think you'll see much from behind :(

zeke how do you open your hood? i was staring at my car for about 10 minutes and still haven't got the slightest clue how u would do it

you're asking how to open your hood to raise it?? i'm confused here??

If you're refering to raising the hood.. the release is under the passenger side snout/grill on the hood ( the actual grill snout) .. not under the hood bumper like most cars.
