    Default Custom billet aluminium vz grills

    Hi guys,

    I'm in the process of designing a custom billet aluminium grill for my '05 vz acclaim,
    It'll be just like the chev grill but without the chev badge,

    I was wondering if anyone was able to get access the dimensions of the stock acclaim grill and pass the information on to me.

    any information will be really helpful and much apprieciated,

    cheers

    P.S. also if anyone is interested in a custom grill just let me know.

    hey tuttle

    yeh just the outside measurements along the straight parts, the height measured in the middle, and the height, length and depth of the bar that goes across the front.

    i need enough measurements so i can do a 3d model of it

    cheers

    Default Custom grills are a go!

    Hey guys,

    In the design process of the grills and need ideas for the design,
    if anyone is interested/wants to buy one/wants some input please let me know,
    i will be doing a series of grills from a full on grill where no cutting of existing grills is required just remove old holden one and install new one, to an additional piece where you cut out the holden/chev logo, cross bars and mesh and clip it into place.

    any ideas/sketches of grill designs will be greatly appreciated.

    cheers,
    George

    letter box style grille?
    hsv style?
    might have a fiddle with photoshop later on and put some up
    Chev badges are an instant fail

    i got the measurements mate but been way to busy to put them on a pic etc.

    it is a little hard to get a idea of shape and size from the measurements so i would really recommend getting one so u can see it and model off it

    come to think of it why did you want one from an acclaim, they are the same as every other one arent they
