There are some on eBay (to give you a refrence point). There is a set of reproduction ABS Plastic ones, which here hydrodipped in black carbon fiber listed for sale for $359.
ABS Plastic C/F SAP grilles
There is also an original (G.M.) passenger side ONLY grille (driver side is missing) listed for sale as well. This particular listed has been on there forquite a while, but is listed for $480.
OEM SAP Pass. side grille
I'm not going to comment on their prices,- BUT - I just bought a super nice set of OEM G.M. SAP grilles (BOTH SIDES) for around $600. These were brand new, never installed and hadn't seen the light of day in around a decade. They had the G.M. box, original hardware, decayed wrapping and instructions.

Why not just buy a pair of the GTOG8TA.com reproductions which would be less expensive than almost all others, they look the same and the mounting method is much more well done and less fragile than the OEM versions?

2nd for ordering the GTOG8TA ones in whatever flavor fits your fancy. I have them on mine and the fitment is perfect.

+1 for this. I have them too and nobody but the hardest of hard-core GTO fans will be any the wiser.

I agree with these guys ^^
I have the GTOG8TA ones in gloss black and matched my PBM 04 absolutely flawlessly. Affordable and awesome repro

I have a set of the GTOG8TA reproductions in my car and they fit really well.
@Bom_Gto If this is what you decide to do, before you secure them to your cat I would suggest:
1). go to the hardware store and get some nylon or rubber washers to go over the bolts.
- - this will spread out the contact area, while also saving the back side of your bumper.
2). (strictly optional) I actually got a second set of nuts and tightened them securely to the nuts provided.
- - this is so the nuts don't back off over time...
I'm sure you know what it will look like, but here's a pic of my BOM with the GTOG8TA grilles...(first mod I did to the car)...
- I removed the black honeycomb mesh and affixed some stainless steel mesh to the grill -
- - I love the grill, I dodn't care for the stainless steel mesh - IMO looks sorta meh -

Dude that’s a badass idea of the washers and extra nuts. I noticed that when securing mine (had the bumper off obviously) that the nuts could potentially back off over time. Next time I pull it off I’ll have to do that 👍🏼
I’ve thought about a set of those repros to put on my car so I can put my OE SAPs away. Since the GM originals are practically unicorns anymore, I’m thinking the repros might be a good idea right now.
