smartin, the front grilles are stunning!  Absolutely gorgeous with your Deep color.  Man, ever since I saw the first ones out of the box, I wanted them on "Miss Red Eagle".  You have a stunning Kappa, love the Chrome!

The photo doesn't do it justice.  They are awesome.  I only wish there were an option for the GXP brake ducts.

Thanks, like Joe said, they look even better in person. Plus I just detailed my car with the PC buffer a couple of weeks ago up at the Poorboy's Detail Clinic. So that makes the grilles stand out even more!

smartin, thanks for the 2nd picture.  As Joe says, it would certainly be great if GM would come out with this option for the GXP brake ducts for us that have the GXP, Redline, or Opel in the European market!  I would hop on it in a minute!  At this point, that is probably the least of GM's worries!

Even I'm not a fan of chrome this looks good, looks like "being there forever".
I don't think I put this in a correct english, but it's something which looks like from factory, style which I like best.
Congrats.

Those are very nice smartin!  I am not a fan of chrome trim, but that looks very good.

Thanks everyone! I got them from a distributor for B Cool Billets. Joe said they were made very well and yes they are much better in person.

Nice job Susan!  The grill is stunning! And the polish is right there with it!
I'm very intelligent, but I mask it by doing stupid stuff.
