We sell the GT grill material for $50. Part number B91450401300. On another note there are two different styles. There is the 916 grill which is two pieces overlaped in the middle which covers the upper and lower and the GT rally grill which is two pieces, upper and lower and does not overlap. I hate to see people combine good engine lids.

for the most part, they are not worth too much, they don't really break, they don't get damaged easily unless someone is extremly careless with it.....it's hard to sell one for $20 at the swapmeets..... just because the dealer or factory sells/sold them for $300 (wild ass guess), it does not mean the part is worth $150 used If the material you have does match than yes, then even at $50 it might be easier to convert an existing lid using just the new material... |

Yes, there are pads in the engine compartment. I don't know if a pad comes in every car (year & model) - others more knowledgeable can answer that. Seems that -6 did not have the pad? There is another pad in the passenger compartment that is behind the seats and surrounding area. This pad has also been removed in my car. Removing all the pads presents a savings in weight at the expense of less noise and thermal insulation. The original pads are much thicker and denser than the silver foil pad (it does not equate to the originals). Engine noises, especially with carbs, is noticeably louder with the GT lid than a stock lid with raintray. Which for my preference is a good thing. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) If it were a daily driver street car and I was commuting in it, I would want to stay with original pads and lid. |

The engine compartment pad was installed from about 1973 up. That is why the sixes did not get it.
