    If taken care (garaged) of how long will a 72 GS grill last before it starts cracking and fallen apart. AL

    72 grill

    AL is this going to be a joke or what ? :laugh: Just kidding, the grill will be fine but do not put it in the upper part of the garage were it can get up to 125 or more degrees on a real hot day unless you have a climate controlled garage, it will start bending and get out of shape, I did it. :Dou:

    Dan, I guess I didn't post this correctly. I'm thinking of buying a spare grill for my GS because I'm conserned about the one that is on the car (its new). My post is not about the shelf life :laugh: but how well the one on the car will hold up if taken care of. I plan to keeping this car till I need my walker to push in the clutch. :laugh: Thanks AL.:TU:

    Gotcha, it should be good for along time, I just bought a 72 GS and still has the original one in it just has a little fadeing to the black paint and emblem, they hold up good if taken care of they are a stronger grill compared to the 70 and 71 Dan.

    Dan, The fading part is not going to be a issue because I gave it to my painter and he used a top of the line paint threw a spray gun. I did not have the patience to paint it :rant: so I gave to some one who does it for a living :bglasses: AL.

    The walker leg will work, or just use your cane.

    Why give up at that point :Do No:
