It would make it look different (help any...in what way?) -- it's all about what you want Vs what other people think! If you like the diamond pattern better than the slot look get the TC, if not, stay with the original slot grille.

The TC grills looks better without a doubt; I'd personally spend the money on something else though, but I don't think money is an object for you.

Scroll down..you can get the kit or the grilles separately:

Just be aware that if you get the lower grille by itself you need the 6 retainers to hold it in. It is not like ths original lower SS/NA grille that had it's own clips.

I think both upper and lower TC grilles look good...plus they match the grille (SS/NA) or grilles (SS/SC) in the back!

thanks.
well i tried to take off the tc grille and well unless we drop the facia i dont think it can be done or at least by me with out breaking something. so im gonna wait a while and see if my dad wants to get a new intercooler and piping and if he does we will have to take off the facia and then do it then

Don't need to take off the fascia -- I did it without even removing the headlights:

I've got the T/C upper and lower grills on mine. Not that bad to install either of them. Hell, I've had people ask me if it's the Turbo SS.

should have put a disclaimer on it: Do not replace grilles in cold weather!

Besides, I bet it would be MORE difficult in the cold and the chances of plastic cracking or breaking is greater too!

I like the no grill look on the bottom....that's the way I'm keeping mine

But it would look good either way so do what you like
