Got a barely used OEM grille from a guy on the V forum, $200 shipped, apparently much better quality than the ebay ones. Zip tied on now until I get a chance to paint it, figured they were easier to get off instead of the expensive one-time-use plastic push pins from Cadillac.

When I have my garage space in Des Moines soon I'll take off the front bumper completely and fix/paint the lower grille too. Also going to use clear lexan for the fog light covers and get a yellow bulb for turn signals instead of the yellow diffuser plastic.

Also, the regular CTS and the CTS-V apparently have the same sized main grille opening, so they are interchangeable. The lower grille isn't the same though.
