The grilles are expensive new, 3-4 hundred depending who you buy from if you are able to find one. And I think most of the custom grilles I seen are an eyesore to a Mark VIII appearance. Just my oppinion.

Since you are in Ft Myers, have you gone to U Pull&Save at 4811 Dr. MLK Blvd, West of I-75? I went there a few weeks ago and they had if I remember correctly 3-4 Marks in the back of the lot on the left side along with a few Continentials. There number is 239-337-7300
 
If you can send me a decent grill frame, I can make it like mine for $35+shipping. If I have to go find a used grill, it'll be around $75+sh
 
Thanks. I go to FGCU and just got back from Winter Break and haven't had time to check around locally though. But thanks for the Tip I'll probably head down there this weekend or something. I've seen acouple good looking custom ones but I'd rather have an original.

Sapper yours is the one I like, So glad you came around this, the grill frame itself is also cracked and broken. A fender bender awhile ago added insult to injury =\ but you said $75 for a used one that looks like yours? PM me for details? I will possibly be heading to a local junk yard first and see what they have this weekend does that sound alright?
 
I can get the grills for $40 each...they are in a jy that's about 20 miles from me, there's 3 in good form that need some touching up. So I figure $50 shouldnt be bad for gas expense, and the slight labor of retrieving it, then the wire costs $5, paint is $3, chrome is $5, then my labor of makin it all pretty

I'll hold that price for the first few...I should charge more as much work as I have to do...but I know I'm not gettin rich off grills.

If blades are broken...just note which ones, I cut most of them out... I may even remove the 2 extra from mine. By the way they look better with the Gen2 front emblems, if you want that in there, you'll have to find one

I can fix most of the breaks, if you're unsure, just send a pic
 
Thanks! I'll head to the junkyards first thing this weekend to see what I can find, and If nothing, you'll be the first one PM'd I'll post a pic later this week also of the damages =\
