New Front Grill. PICS! 56k wash your car and come back

Only cost $4.00 custom made from a sheet that i got at home depot.

all i did was cut it to shape(little bigger than opening) made some flaps to go into the bumper, well under, used the two bolts at the top(inside the bumper) to hold the top on.







and a couple extra pics





still waiting for my front lip to get painted...at least its not costing me anything.

signal is exactly the same unless you are in a crap area where singals come in not great as it is. In that case it wouldn't matter what antenna you have

grille looks great, I have the same silver color and I was thinking of doing the same thing and spraying the mesh black so it sticks out from the silver mettalic paint.

With my color car, I wonder if I should leave it stainless or paint it black for the upper grill.

the bottom takes no time at all... the top grille takes a little longer but its mainly pateince and if you want it to look amazing. I decided to paint mine gunmetal to match the rims and my headlights. If anyone wants a quick how to i got one worked up.

I think black would have flowed better. Not bad though.
Clean car.
