ISO: Bumper delete upper grille

[Ravage]

Looking for the upper full length grille (only) for a bumper delete car. Not looking for the one piece that replaces both upper and lower.
Anyone have or know where I can source one?

As FYI, when CDC first began selling their kits (around 2006 timeframe), they were buying the OEM panels and then they carefully welded in perforated pieces where the notches for the frame horns were. From the outside, you could never tell but a close look on the inside and you could see the tiny tig welding marks. They did this for years - and only installers would ever have known. I mention this, because as a last resort you may consider doing this surgery to a stock (notched) panel and making your own bd panel.

I think he's looking for the black perforated metal piece where the OEM version has the two notches for the frame horns to pass through and the BD version is the same but without these notches.

Says upper grill tho in post. So confused at what he's asking for. Cause you have the option of the GT guy one piece one or the fiberglass filler piece with the cdc kit.

Thank you for this. Great information.

To clarify, not the paintable part but the perforated upper portion as pictured without the slots for the horns. Not sure what's up with the PMs, I'll need to contact admin. Did you have anything like this laying around? Brakes you sent me are awesome btw...

The perforated part with the notches is the lower piece not the top piece in your picture. Shoot me a text also or give me a shout.

The prior owner (Xcentric) did the bumper delete on mine. The car has long tube headers, cat delete, and Ford Racing Exhaust. It is a 1-piece black mesh grill.

I love it. You get to see the "stuff" behind it. In his extensive records it mentions he already had the CDC kit, but then note about when GT Guy installed it added a comment to install the GTG screen instead. Took this picture when I came back from driving it today.

Anyone have updates on dumper delete options?

Have you reached out to the GT Guy, Rich Brooks?

Tried emailing and calling. No response so far.

Rich doesn't have any, I recently spoke to him about them. In a couple months I'll be making some for mine. If they're decent, I'll make a few sets. Does the grill actually need to be there anyways? It's there to keep people, and dry grass, from touching hot parts and deter critters from climbing in.

Porsche said screw it, leave it all off.

Put me down for +1.

Rich is working on something. Should be released fairly soon.

 

[ByeEnzo]

Rich has his fabricator make the “high exhaust” bumper delete grille on an as needed basis. I have that on my car.






I previously had the CDC kit. Exhaust exits low and a small panel had to be painted/striped to match rest of car. In below pic, it’s the panel with the bumper sticker partially covering it. OP may be looking for that piece?

He has a new design option coming out.

Does this new option utilize the high exhaust or low exhaust outlet option?
