I have an 09 LTZ and want to buy the lower mesh piece that will match the factory upper two pieces on my bu. Does anyone know where I can buy it? I checked with T-Rex and some other sites and there lower pieces don't match it because there's are a wire mesh where the factory grille are expanded metal. Thanks

The factory grilles are silver painted plastic.

Do you know where I can get this matching lower piece? The aftermarket sites don't have it to match and I don't know where I can get one. Any help would be appreciated.

My 2LT grille is black plastic. I have a hole in it (no idea here and how I got it) so I might be somewhat interested in a replacement...The only one I found was about 100$ + shipping on eBay, so check it out. I decided to wait, maybe I can pick up one at wreckers locally or even forget about it (it's not that bad)....

Another idea is to actually buy both pieces from those places....Some stick-on ones are fairly cheap. but you need the original grille somewhat intact, because those go on top of the old grille.

Yury, he is talking about the bottom opening where there is no OEM grille.

So far I have not seen a matching grille for the third opening only.

Yury,You can get the black OEM grill at GMPartshouse.com for $80 + s/h.That's for each grill,upper or lower,not both.

Any info on getting an OEM lower grille mesh piece? ..This thing is like impossible to find it's driving me nuts because I don't want to buy a billet 3pc set when I have two perfectly good ones that came with my car. I found a site where I can get the chrome molding to match but I need the oem lower grille mesh piece first..lol....Do they make universal oem silver painted plastic mesh that would work?

There are 3 openings.. If you are talking about the lowest opening then there is no OEM Grille for it.. You will have to go aftermarket if you want a grille for that opening
