Diamond-mesh grill

Is there a way I can get one of the SS Turbo grills for my LS? I know you'll all hate me for it since I don't actually have a turbo and blah blah blah, even though a turbo is on my list of things to spend money on. But I can't lie, I am absolutely in love with the way that looks. It's so sexy. And I want one. It'll compliment my new wheels and soon after high wing and cat-back.

I do not. but the bottom bumper is fine. Everything came painted black, unlike most others i've seen were everything is that plastic crap. it's just my grille I'm not that fond of (which is the plastic crap), and like I said I'm in love with the way that looks.

Most definitely. I was going to paint the one that's there now black or chrome (leaning towards black, not a big chrome fan at all), but I didn't know you could buy this one. And the lower part is for sale on that website at the top dude, just paint it black.

They should check out the dealer prices then....

Even figuring in duty / brokerage / freight / exchange, I can get the complete kit from CED for about 15% less than what my dealer wants.

Yup, they are way way way cheaper than the dealer.

But sad to say many people are blinded by that.

Oh well, I got mine cheap. hahaha

You removed the clips that were on the bar? Or at the bottom half of the grille area? Cuz you do need the bottom and bar clips
