Shallow Headlight Grilles

[cstok3s]

Price: $300

Location: thousand oaks, ca

Description:

I have a set of shallow grilles.  Decent condition.  Buyer pays shipping.

Perhaps shallow, but it’s sometimes hard to tell. There was a lack of uniformity among side grilles (different manufacturers over time? different production methods over time?), and the difference isn’t always as obvious as in my example below: deep on top, shallow on the bottom.

I’m no expert but there’s definitely distinction. The deep grill opening is smaller as well. 

[\\\Mink]

Would you consider splitting them?

[cstok3s]

what side do u need?

[\\\Mink]

The right.

[cstok3s]

Unfortunately I only have another driver side shallow grill.  Don’t want to break up the set.  This one is missing slats but doesn’t Have the gouge in the ring of he lamp.

Understand.  DM me if you decide to split them.  My left is OK.

Wow: you’re good!

 

75% of U.S. round taillight owners don’t realize there are deep and shallow side grilles, 15% of U.S. round taillight owners realize there are deep and shallow grilles, but have no idea what that means, 5% of U.S. round taillight owners realize there are deep and shallow grilles, mostly understand the distinction, but only get the identification right half the time, and 5% of U.S. round taillight owners realize there are deep and shallow grilles, understand the distinction, and get the identification right all the time!  ?

I'm fairly new to 2002s and it took quite a bit of digging to find that my car was one of the weirdos built in the window with tall bumper guards and shallow grilles! (March 72)

You have a solid source for these stats or are you pulling them out of somewhere deep?

I have an extra right side shallow if you don't find one. Just send me a PM.

I'll take all three of them if you're will to let them all go.
