Do you have pics of this front spoiler??

Found a couple pics of a 2004 Indy SS:





And an image from the 00-05 Impy parts sheet:



The only difference between the 04-05 LS and SS front bumpers is the SS bumper has slits milled into the bottom of it to accomodate the chin spoiler...

3 more things I just ordered:

"Indy SS" Grille (like on the car pictured above) from an NAIOA member who sells 'em
SS Spoiler from SpoilerDepot.com
Fog Lights for the SS front bumper

All I need now is the chin spoiler, and I'm off to the body shop to get this stuff painted!

looks to me like the SS grill has a honeycomb inserts, but the LS grill has LINES that are crossing.

Werd

I almost would like to paint the chrome down the center on my grill, and change the blue bow-tie to black or something.   I'm just sick of anything honeycomb- too much Pontiac!! lol

Here's a comparo:


It's called an "Indy" grille because the only SS's to get that grille in 2004 were the Indianapolis 500 Editions ("regular" 2004 SS's got the standard grille.)  The Indy grille became the only grille available on the SS in 2005, and since the SS's were offered in more colors than just black, the grilles were painted body color.


Dave, if you're interested in an Indy grille, PM ZSPOT over on NAIOA.  He's the official "hookup" for OEM Indy grilles (you can buy a cheap knock-off on eBay, but it won't fit quite as well as an OEM grille.)

Tail light covers are here, as are the foglights.  Spoiler should be here today, grille tomorrow.

I just ordered a complete DIC retrofit kit from a guy over on the NAIOA board for $150. (DIC, mounting bracket, retrofit harness, ambient air temp sensor, and shipping included.)
Click here for more info.  This guy (BBEngineer) sells a bunch of cool shit for Impalas and Montes.
