Default PT Turbo GT Grille

Can anyone tell me exactly what the difference is between the standart PT Cruiser grille and the Turbo GT grille? Is the GT Turbo grille wider, higher, shaped differently, etc? Thank you.

There is a difference between the two grilles.
On a GT, there are 6 different seperations on the lowest part of the grille where as on a Regular Cruiser, there are only 4 seperations.
See the image below taken of a regular Cruiser. Only 4 divisions on the lower part of the grille...

On an GT or an 04 with the Turbo option the upper part of the grill(above the bumper) is the same as every other PT. The entire lower fascia (including the bumper cover) is different, The grill opening in the lower fascia itself is a little wider and more rounded off at the bottom, allowing for more airflow to the turbo.

I also have heard that a different hood is used on the GT Turbo models. A hood that is slightly longer... Any truth to that?

Thank you, Brandon!

I just bought my new PT Turbo GT weekend before last. It's a 2003, Inferno Red. I traded my 2002 Chev Z-71 truck for it. I love the Cruiser even better than the truck (I think the Cruiser is even faster)....

All the 2003 GT's I've seen have the Dark Slate interior. Do you know if they GT's come with any interior color other than that?

I disagee with you about the number of seperations. Mine only has four.
