Luminated Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hi, first post here, sorry if it's been asked before. I did search some but found no answers. does anyone know why there are three different types of grills for the Luminas? the grid one, the horizontal one and the colored border one, for lack of better description. I've always wondered if it was a year produced thing or options or...? my first car was a 90 Grey 4 door. sadly after 265k, I had to replace it with my current vibrant blue 92. I've also bought a dark blue 93 and have a red 94 in storage waiting for a fix up. all but the grey one have had the horizontal slat type.

ManicMechanic Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I believe the 1990s were the only year for the chrome grille. 1990 Euros also had a different grille. 1990 Base: 1990 Euro: 1991-94 Z34: 1991-94 Base & Euro: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 PHAIL! There were 4 grills on luminas. 90 base = chrome 90 euro = lots of black slats surrounded by body color border 91-94 all (except Z34) = 5 slat body color grill 91-94 Z34 = solid grill with slats for turn signals.

ManicMechanic Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I took a 1990 Euro bowtie and replaced the gold bowtie on my 1991 Euro...Looked fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 lol they remind me of the early 90s plymouth acclaim. 2 or 4 different grilles. I never found one that was the same as mine though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuminaPower92 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I took a 1990 Euro bowtie and replaced the gold bowtie on my 1991 Euro...Looked fantastic. Put a red one on my euro as well. It was missing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 i saw a euro today with the base chrome grill. must have been swapped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3pt1lumina Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 i saw a euro today with the base chrome grill. must have been swapped? Yes, the only year for that chrome grill was on base model 90's... the ugliest grill IMO. That's why I got rid of it on my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I'm biased of course - I think this looks MUCH better than the thick (ugly) bars of the 91-94 base cars. Z grilles look good too but I like my '90 only grille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumineer Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Back when I had my '92 Base model, I had the big slats. I personally find ALL the lumina grills to be attractive, although the chrome ones DO give a bit of a granny sedan look to the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
