I bought the grille through wood dash experts. they have a website, just google it and check them out.

Grille is nice, but you have to know a little about some mechanics, because you do have to cut a little piece of you framing/fiberglass to make it fit just right.

Good Luck!

I would hold off making this modification until the trunk lid with the spare tire outline is available. Then just add the bias ply Vogue tires, the grille, the trunk lid and the wheel covers. While you are at it you can also illuminate the wheel wells; fronts in gold, rear in blue. I understand that DuPont still has a few gallons of Cranberry Firemist paint on the shelves. You will also need a furry ring for the rear-view mirror and the steering wheel. All you will then be short is the air dream seat covers and you will be in business. Oh yeah, a set of all-weather floor mats installed upside down for extra safety without the clips; they're for sissy's anyway.

That is a MAN"S CAR!!!

You sir, are very familiar with "the look". I cringed while reading your post. Gotta go out and flip over my mats now.

The "look" needs the tinted plastic sun visors around the side windows, chrome door center post and the gold / brass plating of all exterior emblems. Then you will be the equal of many Buick Centurys and Park Avenues!

I wonder if the new LaCrosse will be spared some of these add ons that the dealers like to put on Buicks?

I would hope so. I was considering the new Lacrosse but after seeing it in person, seemed too bulky for me, much like the Lincoln MKS. ES350 on a bit of steroids.

I looked at the LaCrosse too. To me it's one of those cars that looks a lot better in the pictures than in person. It's nice looking but as you said it does seem bulky.
