I just finished installing my grille inserts today.

 

Looking good, the pieces around your fog lights did they come with the black piece or did you make that yourself ?

 

What rims are those?

 

u should get your grill gold plated with some diamonds!

 

i know its a noob question but how do the inserts stay in there? i have seen various things on the internet but havent the slightest clue how to use most o fem... like how would u use the saftey wire to hold it in place? i really wonder about this because i need to get some screens to put on my car lol. and btw looking good with the inserts.

 

Existing Screws anf Zip ties mainly, I need to find out what that black stuff is alone the edges..At first I thought it might be some of that door edge guard stuff, but it doesn't look like that..anyone know ?

 

It's very similar to weather stripping. Rubber wrapped around a bendable metal core. I got it from the GrilleGuy.com. The sell that and the grille inserts by the foot. Or, you can buy the pieces cut to size. You still have to mod the side vent pieces to fit in the fogs.

 

The rims are 18x8 OZ Palladio's. You can find them at TireRack.com

 

PusherRobot hit it on the head. Existing screws and zip ties. The whole job took about an hour and a half from start to finish.

 

i dunno, i think it looks kinda funny.

 

Do you have a picture of the rear with a complete shot with the car? I'm thinking of getting the bumper inserts from RX8strakes.com.

 

not my thing but looks cool.

 

These are the inserts from RX8strakes.

 

Not much open area on that perforated metal. Probably cuts air flow to 1/3 of needed on the oil coolers.

 

The grille material is 63% open.
The backer on the stock fog light install blocks 100% of the passenger side lower vent. I replaced the backer with the grille material.
I'm thinking I have more air flow now than before.
I ran autox at a driving school over the weekend with no overheating issues.
I guess time will tell.

 

The bumper inserts look really good. That's definitely on my list of TO-DO's.
