billet grill looks sexy on my red.. Purrr..

Just took pictures of my new billet grill, for those who hadn't seen the thread on here it's an easy DIY and it stays on in carwashes, rain and bumpy roads..The cheapest and very nice first mod for your 8.

looks great!

I can't put it anything on he front of my 8 . Ontario Laws enforce front plates. I went 8 months without plates, but kept getting pulled over. I gave in and put it on .....

Anyway ... Grill looks fantastic.

Nice shot!!! That mod appeals to me, but I hate the idea of using plastic Pep Boys trim strips on my car. I wish I could see one in person and really determine whether it looks cheap. To me.

Then again, it's so cheap and easy, and easy to remove, I should just try it and find out.

It would be a good idea to try it and see for yourself. I think you will like how it turns out if you take the time to rim the ends perfectly and line them all up.


And your car looks great Veloci

Looks awesome!

Even if I convinced a friend of mine that they were just Pepboys stuff for $10, he still would not believe it. He looked really close and still was having a hard time believing that it was just a sticker. He said it really looked like I installed a metal piece in there. I'm tellin ya, it doesn't look cheap at all.

It took me like 2 minutes to convince a friend I did it myself..at first to trick him I told him it took like 2 hours and I had to borrow my uncles welder..then I peeled off a corner and told him the truth.
