I wanted to do something really custom and one off for mine. I have a connection for parts and phoned up for a replacement stocker to mess around with. $161.00 Canadian, 130bucks my cost lol. Very cheap so if you feel creative and you own a dremel they are really well priced and he said next day so no backorder. On a side note his computer mentioned chrome when I gave him the heritage grill part number. He said theres no price for one but there was another one not yet released for $410 dollars???? More than the heritage grill is so maybe theres a chrome one coming out?

...I hope they do, I think it would look bad ass chromed out!

I am already working on one based of the stocker. Stay tuned should have photos to post by the weekend.

I also can chrome the piece but its going to cost a fortune to chrome the grill my way. I dont like the cheap methods. I have a source that electroplates copper and nickle/chrome to plastics. Price $$$$$$$$

...you are a god if you make the Heritage Grille chromed!

elpatofeo · 12-07-2009, 05:25 PM

...any clue as to how much it will run for? will you be able to put RS on it?

Post up a pic of this Herritage style you guys mention.

I am deleting the bowtie and also doing a few other things.

Now here is the deal if GM or any aftermarket company makes a chromed grill it wont be real chrome. it will be a PVD coating or Vacuum Metalized.

Mass produced parts have to be done this way for cost.

The method I mention is not cheap and we use this method on 250K Bentleys to chrome the lower grills and other parts.

We have a special product imported from France that gets sprayed onto the substate. It has a special blend of metal powder which conducts electricity for the electroplate process. Once its cured I send to my custom show chrome plater and he puts a few mils of copper, buffs to a flawless finish and then it gets finished off in the process.

When you get the grill back its almost double the weight and feels cold to the tough like a piece of metal.

I will try and get a price soon for the chrome but its a big piece and lots of undercuts to polish.

The regular french fry cuttter grill is available. The heritage is not yet. I deal with these guys all the time and he put an alert on the computer that basically will notify him the first second it becomes available.
