I got mine from my local Dodge dealer parts counter.  My guess is Dave at Roseville's is the same.  it is a very nice, painted unit.  i just had to purchase the Gran Coupe trim seperately  :hyper:   :




EB3, please enlighten me on the GC grille trim, what is that?
My grill looks the same as yours in the pic.

AAR's and Gran Coupes shared the same rectangular grill trim. I removed the standard red bar that came with the new grill (shown in the picture) and installed the rectangular trim I found on eBay.

You got that right! I'm in Canada so I had to pay exchange on the dollar and tax when I brought it across the border. I'm into the grille assy about $1700.
Good thing it's beautiful!!    :eek2:

EB3, thats sweet!

Gives a totally different bling to the grill.

For sale at Ebag for 149 US. Just have to convince the wife that i really need them...

Your car is loaded: pins, indicators, road lights... Was that hood available for a GC?
