Pics of my new front grille
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

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!

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.

Oil Injection
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!

clarification
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

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
