Aftermarket Grill for 73 Omega

I have a 73 Omega with the factory grill. It looks good but I’m looking for something that screams MUSCLE. Not having any luck finding a grill replacement (there aren’t a ton of these cars so aftermarket parts are not super plenteous). Any recommendations on what is out there or how to muscle up the grill a bit. Thanks for suggestions.

You can't even buy a reproduction of the original grill, much less a custom aftermarket one. Sorry, but either learn to like the original or learn how to make your own custom part.

Thanks for the advise Joe. I love the way the Ventura front end looks. May do some research on what other people have done. Thanks 👍🏻

How about painting the insides of your grills black and leave the chrome/polished edges around the border. Try to copy the look of the 71 442 Grill. You could also add the 71 y73 hood stripe.

I'd refresh the front bumper first.

I agree with Eric. That bumper is bad. The grill is kind of simple and clean. Painting it black might work. Put electrical tape on one side before you paint it to see how it looks.
