Received a delivery today from UPS.



Will be taking it to the body shop tomorrow so they can install it on my car while it's in the shop already .

 

why pay them more do it urself its easy. but nice love the new grill on the tc's

 

They aren't charging me to put it on. They are already replacing the front bumper/lip and the SC intercooler, possibly more if they find more damage. Since they are putting a new bumper on already they said bring it to them and they would put it on instead of the OEM.

 

Looks good.

This is what UPS did to my TC grille when it came in:



but it came out okay in the end :

 

it because UPS loves <3 you wardzach. One time I got a package with a boot print on it and the box was half crushed but everything was ok inside it like what happen to you.

 

Well they must love me alot then

 

New grill looks good btw!

 

Ouch !

My came with no box damage what so ever .

Just can't wait to get it to the shop and for them to get it all put back together with the new grille.

 

You should go ahead and paint it black while your at it. It looks 10X better. Trust me.

That's what I did.

 

Well the shop owner asked me if I wanted him to paint it black and I told him at this time I didn't know yet. Did you have the front upper and lower painted black ? Also if I did, should I have them pull out the 2 in the rear bumper and paint those to match ?

 

get it painted!

 

Yeah, I have both painted satin black.

Yes, if it's free and no charge have him paint it all at once. This will avoid any mis-matching in the paint.

If not, you can just pull out the back ones yourself. Probably one of the easiest things to do.

 

Thx man, I will talk to them tomorrow when I take it in and find out where they are at on fixing my car.

 

You're welcome.

Yeah, the stock "grey'ish" looking grille looks ugly IMO.

 

im buying one of these soon for my LS and deff want to paint it black

what kind of paint do i use?
also do i need clear coat?

 

where do y'all order these grills from?! i want one!

we've gotten packages at work that came with HOLES in them and the driver acts like nothing happened. one day i confronted him cause there was a gaping hole in the box and he goes what. i didn't do it. :facepalm:

we usually give each of our drivers a nice christmas bonus. guess what that dick got. nothing

seriously UPS is FTMFL

FEDEX is FTMFW

there ya go man

 

I didn't put any clear on mine. You probably want to just in case to avoid chipping.

So far, I have had no chipping problems.

As far as paint goes, I used satin black krylon paint for plastics.



I highly reccomend using this brand/spray paint. It dries very quickly. That's a advantage for me.

 

yeah i mean i painted my front bowtie with black spray paint and i didn't clear it and it didn't chip at all
i painted it back in november of 08



im just waiting for the remainder of my paycheck to clear through my bank acct than im ordering it

so do i have to take the bumper off to do this?
i was looking for a how to but didnt seem to find one

let me know man

 

Nope, you don't have to take off the bumper.

 

i got my tc grills in a while ago too, they make my grill blue lights shine nice, so everyone sees me coming down the street

alright cool

so do i have to take my headlights out and all that?
or can this be done with out taking the headlights out
because there a PITA to put back in

 

all this is done by just opening the hood and that's it.

And patience.
