2012 Boss 302 Grille Options

[Nice2BEtheBOSS]

Looking good Jeff. I'm still debating adding a tribar pony to mine. When's the white LS spoiler going on?

I think you should leave the tri-pony emblem off. It looks more menacing....

but with white grill surround too

I think the accent color on the grille like the LS' have stock looks great! I really like the kona cars too.... Can't wait to see what the white LS splitter looks like.

I am debating whether to paint my Tiger hood all silver like stock or put the accent red in like regular Boss' and the 302s have.... ???

I think it needs some red. Remember your Rule #1

Take it slow and be careful cutting the holes on the underside. FWIW there is some more info here:

If you put the hole for the LS spoiler then later go back to the stock one or GT500, is the hole in a place that will be covered by the other ones?

No, you drill four holes forward of the stock ones.

How about in between like this?

Thanks Rick..... Now I have another option to think about........

Gary....I am starting to hate Rule #1. It is getting expensive.... But hey it's Rule #1! I don't have a choice...it's a rule...

I really do like the hood how you have it with the black in there. I just don't know if it will be too much red on the car.... ??? I am probably going to go all silver and see what it looks like. I can always spray red over it...

Thanks guys. Here's another photo of the whole car.

Hi Rick,

Would it be possible to take some straight shot photos of the grille directly in the sun? I think I'm going to also purchase the cobra jet grille. Thanks

 

[VoodooBoss]

This is the best I have for now. We're expecting a week of rain so it could be awhile until we see any sunshine.

stock emblem doesn't fit on the 302S grille?

i think our car runs much hotter with trackey. i drove it quite hard today, the cabin felt like a sauna and even the front bumper got really hot.

The stock emblem is held on with adhesive and I don't think he wanted to remove it.

I haven't noticed my car running hotter with TK and around town temp is usually 190-200. I ran my car on track last month in almost 80 degree temps with TK and my new grille and only saw 217 and my gauge never moved. Last Fall I had no TK and stock grill with 70 degree temps and the gauge needle moved past the 3/4 mark.

I watched them put the LS spoiler on my car today. I didn't want to do that job myself- it comes in 17 pieces out of the box - yikes! Once you drill those holes its a commitment, just like a shaker hood.

I haven't seen a difference in temps with tk. Also the stock emblem does fit on the 302 s grille.

That's your first move to making your Boss run cooler and maybe your last.

Get a V6 emblem, only difference is different backing tape and the chrome around the red, blue and white bars is slightly raised. They are only 20-something dollars.
