Hello, and thank for letting me join this forum. My name is Zack Stewart and I 3D print car parts. I would like to reproduce g body speaker grills. However I don't have a good set to take measurements from. Could any of you post some good straight on pics, front and back for me? In trade for helping me I would be willing to make a set for free to whoever helps me with this.

I'm new to the g body's. What is the most popular/most broken. I do plan on selling these for reasonable price when finished. What does the g body community need? I currently make several Camaro and fiero parts, and my customers have suggested g body parts more than once.
I'd like to make a double din install kit too.
afaik, monte carlos, el caminos, cutlass' and malibus have the grille inserts. regals have the giant plastic panel, and grand prix's (other pontiacs that have that dash as well, Le Mans, Grand Ams, etc) just have holes poked in the dash like it's a pet in a box.
They are like pot metal. To add to the grills used Grand Prix's had thin stamped metal ones for the rear speakers.
Not sure if it is year specific, but the stereo grills on my '81 El Camino dash has smaller grills than the '85 Cutlass dash I returned a couple of weeks ago.
I think the monte carlo are pot metal and cutlass are plastic, regal and GP are under the dash cap
Each make are different. Chevy oldsmobile Pontiac and Buick. Only oldsmobile is worth making it made of plastic with metal tabs that push into the dash. The cost to do it probably not worth the time
If you can make a nice and clean faux grill for the back dash I'd be in for that. I've done a few wraps of the back dash and cutting the slots out from the material after takes forever
