There are none snywhere unless you can find a used ne or ne someone has on the shelf. Its very easy to adapt one.the last one on ebsy sold for 350$ stupid money

I see this part number - 10438930 - comes up for the XLR. Does anyone have any info on it?

Theres a dozen listed on ebay but what i find is that when someone list a number others jump on. My dealer confirmed its discontinued and his dealer network shows none anywhere. There is a vintage gm parts that may have one. I like the hidden plates if you must run one. Let us know what you find

I might get one to check it out. It's a little pricey. One place has that part number but the shipping, and 'Vintage Part' fee are a bit much. I've seen people mentioning the hidden plate thing. Right now, I don't have the correct grille installed under the bumper. Looks like they just used metal fencing (like something you'd use for your chickens!) in place of the grille so I have plenty of air flow. I do want to get the correct grille though at some point so getting a right proper bracket would be something to consider.

Has anyone considered 3D printing one?

 

[mickeytee]

I doubt it. Cost would have to be 100$ to even think about making it worth it. Who told you they had one? You can get aftermarket lower grilles not to exlensive but require the bumper removal to install unless you want to stand on your headunder the car.
Send me a photo of what you have. I most likely have sometning that will work. send to xlrparts@yahoo.com

If you're asking who has a 3D printed one, I was just asking if someone had tried that. My son has access to a 3D printer. Figuring if I can get the specs or a good picture of one, I might try it.

I'll send a picture of what my grill looks like.

Sorry no i was asking who had them you got a price from. Looks like vintage parts in beaver dam has them for about 50$ shipped. Not going to find them any cheaper for sure.3d printer prints in rows and something like this would have to be done in rosin and uv baked. Very expensive.

I have to lookup the pricing again as my browser session hosed and lost all my open tabs. Hate it when that happens. For the part number 10438930, GMPartsGiant wants $88 and some change. That's the one that includes a 'vintage fee'. Ebay, it's around 50-60 bucks including shipping. I'm looking at Vintage Parts now.

 

[wprecanico]

Oh, and yes, 3D printing probably wouldn't last up here in the woods of MA.

 

[mickeytee]

Yeah gm parts giant buys from vintage parts and marks it up. Just cut out the middle man. Hope you got one they are all gone now. I got them so that some ebay junk yards dont buy them up and ask 200$ for them . if they bolt on thru the bumper cover ill adapt them. I hate holes in the bumper cover

 

[wprecanico]

I got this one - 10438930 - so I'll see what it's like when I get it.

 

[mickeytee]

Well a little more looking and even though that says us market its 26 inches wide making it export tag holder

 

[wprecanico]

Oh great.

 

[mickeytee]

Sorry. I had did an in depth check back in june to confirm there were not any to be found. When you posted the part number somehow it shows at oem cats to be a usa part so i did not check further on the correct part number
