are all the fog light grills metal? I noticed Pelican selling new primered grills for $40 a pop...are these metal?

I thought they were all plastic? Chrome or painted

more of pot metal I thought.....I have a set of chrome units at home, but they are going with the white car so I need a new set for the green car

the early ones (not sure if up to '72) were metal, the later ones were plastic - no matter if black or chrome

chromed plastic is what I have seen.. try breaking the ones you have to see!
just kidding....gotta say that with all the stoopid noobies reading this stuff gettin the wrong advice.

Sooo, would that go under the "Good Advise" or "Bad Advise"?

Snap - "Plastic"
Snap - "Plastic"
Snap - "Hmm, plastic too."
Snap - "Amazing, also plastic, wheres the supper glue?"

i thought the early prototype cars had metal

all i have seen are chromed plastic

To discover what the grills are made of, I took a pos one and broke it to little pieces. Well, I really smashed it for fun and its made of plastic that is chromed.

Maybe early ones are metal.

My advice is to think before you leap and don't blame anyone else for your mistakes!

Dan, gonna make it to Korijos?

The replacement ones available are plastic. In both primered and chrome. I just ordered some.

There might be metal ones available in about a month.....

As a slight asside from this thread, I have found that you can repair cracked and broken fog light grills with Acetone. I have a box of broken grill parts I use to build up sets for my cars and for friend's cars.

I know somebody who might be able to "chrome" the $40.
