Hi All:
I am looking for a set of metal foglight grills for my car with the foglight openings. As long as they are not cracked, broken, damaged they should work.
I will send them out with the front and rear bumpers to be chromed. Let me know if you have a set and what you want shipped to Scotty at 23120.
I have a set of the plastic ones, but would like to find the early metal ones for my car.
Thanks again,
Michael

Michael, have you checked with SMC?

Thanks- I sent them an email to see if their OEM grills are plastic or metal. I will post the answer. Thanks, Michael

These are on sale from OE. You save 1,570.00 so even if they
are plastic it's absolutely a unbeatable deal.

Only the ones without the light holes were metal. I looked at making these in aluminum, but it didn't pencil out. As far as I know there aren't any metal with the holes for the lights.

i looked in to making aluminum ones years ago at a foundry i previously worked at. plan was to have a 'match plate' pattern made. that alone was $1.2k. figuring in the hand work to make the surface ready for the finish made the project cost prohibitive.

Wow! I would have bet $ my first 914-6, back in about '77 had metal fog light grills. That makes my search a lot easier as they are available new, see above, for about $129 each.
