flamingbig10 · 10-02-2009, 05:10 PM

you can get a regular phantom grille on eBay for a 100 bucks

smashingchuck · 10-02-2009, 07:06 PM

Yeah but you get unparalleled customer support and quality for your extra $300 from AIM.

Check out Trenz. They make quality billet grilles.

Pyrotechnic · 10-02-2009, 08:50 PM

You could probably take one of those regular phantom grills and remove a few of the strips from the center, then take some sheet metal and make a piece to go in there.

Driveway Dreams · 10-03-2009, 11:46 AM

Could you maybe take a phantom grill and use the center bar from a Suburban and fit them together? Just a thought.

Ya, i was thinking the same thing.

I also started a thread on SSM asking Joe the owner of AIm what was the deal with the stupid high price.

mrenj23 · 10-03-2009, 03:02 PM

I remember an overhaulin on a 2dr 98 tahoe that chip foose built a similar looking grille. He ground down the center billet bars so that a strip of sheet metal would fit flush with the grille.

lowhoe · 10-03-2009, 03:48 PM

heres the responce i got from the owner of Aim

Yes, I designed this grille about 13 years ago. I spend more than $65 just to box it with a tubular metal frame to prevent shipping damages. No, it is not a joke. I have more than a $100 in materials. I have a factory to support. The $100 grilles are from China, and all of my grilles are built inhouse and I charge more for them.

tx Joe

Looks like ill be making my own and keeping the extra 300 bucks,lol

mrenj23 · 10-03-2009, 09:44 PM

Tell him that the china stuff is better than what he has

rod86 · 10-04-2009, 12:35 AM

lowhoe · 10-04-2009, 01:00 PM
