    To bad I'm all the way on the left coast. Shipping would be a nightmare... I'm sure someone will chime in, from the right coast....

    Howdy and :Welcome:
    Unfortunately I have the exact same dilemma. Comet grills are hard to find, and GT grills are impossible to find. I have 2 sets of the GT stainless trim strips but standard grills have thicker slats on them so the stainless trim will not go on them. Well, not without a lot of work.

    Welcome aboard! Stick around this site is so much more than a parts source. It's like a motley crew dedicated to our cars with more knowledge about this single vehicle than you could ever hope for. It's like Comet/Maverick paradise.
