Hi All
finally got my new front grille after I had to send back the incorrect one...what a fiasco that was...but they did send me a refund check to cover the cost of the return shipping (over and above what it cost)....I do like the grille though and it was definitely an inexpensive mod....and one I could do myself... :D

 

Looks sweet, shinka. :D

 

The grill looks nice... what kind is that and where did you pick it up? I like my billet grill but that one is one of the better ones that i've seen.

 

Looks good!! Now u just need to get an oil cooler screen to match. NICE!

 

Looks great Chica!!

 

thanks for the comps.....I actually do have oil cooler screens but you really cant see them well in the photo...made them from stuff I got at Home Depot...the grille comes from Grille-Tech.com.....price is right too!

 

how does it install?

 

Can we get some close-ups?

Pretty slick looking car I must say.

 

I still like mine

 

the first one's not close enough?
if not, I'll take some more pics

 

its kinda easy but you've gotta use your brains...it attaches to the stock grille with small cable ties.....
I had to drill 2 holes in the stock grill for the top mounting...on the bottom, I just went thru openings in the stock grille that were already there.....Its a little tricky working from the back of the grille...you wont want the ends of the cable tie on the front.

 

Not really into diy front grills, but this one actually looks nice. Good job!

 

First aftermarket grill I've seen that looks nice. Good job.

 

thats a stainless steel woven mesh, like the cady V cars right? same as the racing beat screens but replaces the horrible plastic.

if I was going to keep the stock front bumper for long, this grill would be the one for me.

looks simply amazing!

 

looks very nice!

 

That looks amazing! The price is right too! What kind did of mesh did you get? Racing?

 

thanks....I actually ordered it from Grille-tech.com
they offer a couple of different types in black or silver

 

Looks good man

 

Nice stuff, I'd stay it looks cleaner than most DIY front grills and oil cooler grills. All I can is you look very nice stock. :D

 

Very, very nice - I guess you don't have to worry about front plate requirements.

 

not my cup of tea, but bravo for the DIY :D

 

You know what i love about our cars? When you walk up to them-it looks as though they are smiling at you

i like it too btw!

 

just wanted to clarify a couple of things....I did not make the front grille....I bought it from grille-tech.com....$59....its diamond style in silver...it is available in black also along with racing style....I just did the install....I made the oil cooler grilles out of "hardware cloth" from Home Depot.....it cost about $5....I just cut it out (on a angle) to give it a diamond style look and stuck it in there....it was actually a no-brainer....
thanks for the kudos :D

 

negative on that.....I'm so freakin glad we dont have front plates in PA....they are ridiculously ugly.....and a true PIA

 

I liked yours so much I went ahead and grabbed me one in black, I'll post pics when it's put on and I look forward to having something a little cleaner looking than the giant honeycomb stock one...then again the honeycomb on my yellow might be kinda' appropriate :D
