I've got a 07' WM Caprice,it came with a honeycomb pattern top grill and a rectangle pattern lower grill,put a chev grill in the top (with rectangle pattern) so now it actually looks right..........:)

Glad to see someone in GM has a brain and didn't ditch it along with the Pontiac brand...something which maybe whilst necessary for survival now, they may regret in the future.

This is good news for the team at Elizabeth re jobs and exports!

Good onya Bob :thumbsup:

Already an earlier thread on this in the Tar Pit;
Australian LS1 and Holden Forums (http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=121953)

And again in General Automotive;
Australian LS1 and Holden Forums (http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=121960)

Maybe our Mods can merge if that is possible so this can be followed more easily?
