I know there's no Denali level trim for the Acadia yet...

But I'd LOVE to put a Denali style grill on it, I think it'd set the front end off even more!

Problem is, I can't find one ANYWHERE!!

Anyone else out there come across one? Or any type of custom Billet Grille for the Acadia yet?

There really are no real aftermarket accessories for any of the GM Lambdas yet, since they're so new, but I'd guess maybe in 2 months or so, some stuff will start popping up.

I see on the Saturn Accessories web page that they have a billet grill for the Outlook. So maybe the factory may come out with some soon for the Acadia.

I will have to say I do not care for the looks of it.

 

[Lipsman]

I would have to agree on the saturn billet grill.

Of course i didn't really like the looks of the saturn version in the first place!

E & G classics (E&G classic Grills) has a denali style grill just out. They also have "mesh" style covers for those cheap plastic fake vents on the bumper. Its interesting looking, I love the grill, but I am not to sure on the lower mesh....I guess anything looks better than the fake vents.

I really like that mesh look. I'll have to check into this. I'm am not usually one for aftermarket stuff on my cars. But I think this will make the front look better. I couldn't seem to find the cost on that guy.

anybody have their grills on your other cars? I'd like to know if this is an overlay or an actual grill replacement. How well do these overlay's hold up?

thats not it. The denali grill is a honey comb grill not a mesh. the design is a bunch of circle holes not diagonal ones.

 

[Rufio]

ok so it's not the "Denali style" grill. Still looks good. I'd be interested in hearing other folks experiences with "overlay" type grills.

Here's a site selling this mesh grill for the Acadia.

I emailed EG classic grills and asked them when they plan on having a "Denali style" grill for the Acadia. They indicated end of the month they'll have more styles. Since it's pretty much end of May, I guess they mean end of June.

 

[mmla4]

I think I'm going to order this set up. I am going to get the upper grill and the lower set. On the lower set, I think I am just going to install the middle piece only (like on the yukon denali). I am going to hold off on the other two lower sides.

I heard good things about E & G. Hope the overlay grill pieces work well. If not, off to ebay they go. Once I get these grills put on....I'll post some pictures.

I do love the look of the grill. it flashy, Kinda adds to the "bling bling" of the acadia.

They seemed to give you a vague answer, i hope that one of those "new" styles is the denali style.

seems a little chincy to be worth the $350 price tag. I think i will wait for a better option.

I always see this a Cadilac CTS in my work parking lot with a nice grill. As a result of this thread I finally went up close for a better inspection. Didn't realize till then that it was an "overlay" grill as well. Up close I can see the metal clips. Had to look quick becuase I didn't want some dude coming out after me thinking I was defacing his car. All in all looked really good. Had the mesh look very similar to the one from the EG website for the Acadia. If I can find the owner I'll ask him what brand his grill is. If it's anything like this overlay, I would definitely buy it.

Here's another thread that discussed an Acadia Delali (East coast and West coast National Parks, no less!). Adam Boca provided a photoshopped idea of what one would look like, with the correct honeycomb grill.

I prefer the mesh look to Billet and the Denali Honeycomb. I've seen an '07 Yukon and '07 Tahoe with a mesh type grill but I can't tell if the spaces between the mesh are more open on these. If so I like this version better. Not out yet for the Acadia, but company is called SES Trims based out of Brooklyn I believe. I found some pics...I don't like how they did the square trim around the GMC logo, so hopefully if they make one for the Acadia they chose a different route.

Anyone from the area want to contact them and provide your vehicle to them for measurements?

I just ordered the E&G grill. Rep says it will ship out on June 7th. This guy is on ebay and he has a 99% positive w/over 5,000 feedback. I'm not in way tied to this guy or affilated with them. They just gave me a good price of $310.00 dollars + shipping....
Once the grill is in, I'll post the pictures and give you feedback as to the quality and fit of the grills.

If any one else is interested, just email this guy below...the grills are not yet posted on his ebay store, so you have to email him.
