Up yours!! :p


I did mine w/ the $10 billet grille method, and added the DLS oil cooler grilles w/ accent pieces. They are well made and provide protection and look pretty good. There's another screen to protect the AC condenser down there that you can't really see...

Because it made my 8 different than everyone elses, that's why. :D If it makes you fell better, I have darkened it since those pics. Repainted it with some good ol rustoleum, and it came out darker gray.

I don't want to sound mean, but it looks like it cost 20 dollars. It has no depth to it. It certainly could look worse, it's not that bad, but maybe some black paint would make it a little better.

Just to clarify...

It isn't that noticeable anymore. Repainted, and in the shade you can't even tell it's there. Regardless, I'm still happy with my investment due to lack of interest in anything I've yet to see on the market. Now, if a black chrome Denali-type grill came out, then I may just have to upgrade. :D
