im hoping to do something like this, and maybe put one of those badges in the bottom left corner. although im not a huge fan of chrome.

 

Also keep in mind with the mesh grill like that you will see all those nasty looking little slits to where the stocker snaps into. I have seen a few people grab this and be dissappointed.

 

I have to see it first. If it doesn't work out, then so be it. I will have paid a little to learn a lesson. If it's junk, I will do whatever I can to let everyone know. At $26 it's ok. I might be able to salvage it if it's not horrible. I would like to see the slots that you are talking about tho. Any pics of the disapointment?

 

If those slits are on the inner part of the bumper(behind the grill), I can fill them or hide them. I would like to see what the problem is tho.

 

I don't quite recall who it was but it looked pretty bad in the light and up close. They ended up ditching it. Your frill on your black car looks 100% better than that ceap "ricey" mesh IMO. I would keep that or save up for a few bones for a better grill like the caracter...thats what I sport.

 

Post some pics of the character please..? And what did you pay for it?

 

we use mcnichols for perf steel for work. For what you're probably getting from ebay, you might have been just as well off building a grille from scratch. Keep us updated though.

 

To be honest, all I need is a template lol. I had already figured that the pieces would be sub-par. thats why I started to outsource materials. I figure I will probably use the frame from my existing grill, and get metal mesh from mcnichols. I know Im never gonna get the kind of quality I want unless I do it myself. yet more proof that we are the only people that give a **** about our cars"sigh".

 

Here is a close up pic Warranty. They are a little spendy but is the best looking mesh grill due to it's 3d design. Cost are 200-300 depending on where you go.

From first hand experience with this grille, I would advise to not use it. It is really flat and does not contour at all to the stock grille opening. It is not very well shaped and requires a LOT of work to fit decently. I struggled with mine for hours to make it look decent. In the end, I ended up buying a badgeless FK grille.

~Just my .02 though.
