Talking Anyone got a billet grill on their '98 or newer Z.

I put a billet grill on my SS as I have always disliked the plastic black insert. I am wondering if any one that has one, has any cool tips for cleaning and polishing the grill. It seems to retain alot of water after washing. I may try my air compressor and blow it out maybe, but has anyone waxed it?

I have had a black billet on mine for a year now. Have never waxed it. It seems to have some black rubber like coating on it. Since I use an electric leaf blower to dry the car. No problems with water retension.

Santa got it from www.rksport.com I do believe Summit carries it also and they may be cheaper. The grille is made by Stull and is a quality piece.

Question

Who is Stull- can you buy direct? I have
had a grille on order from RKs since the
1st of the year- they finally emailed me
2 weeks later that it is on backorder.
I'm leaving in 9 days for So. texas with
a new (to me) 2kZ vert to soak up some
sun and would like to have the grille installed. Thanks Gene

Summit racing has the grille in stock for
$40 less. Canceled the back order needless
to say and will have the grille Monday.
They also mentioned a brush finish grille
(not in stock)- even cheaper($90?) Gene
