i think it looks cool
what is the material and what is it called
how long have you had it on ?
is it restricting your air flow?

I like it. Its different. By the way.. prepare to be flamed because its different....

I dont mind getting flamed on this one.. I am actually looking for chrome mesh but tried this instead. Its actually aluminum grill (as in BBQ) sheets that are flexible and thin enough to cut cleanly with scissors. It has only been on for a week and it took about 20 minutes to complete plus dry time for the glue. If I can find the mesh, I will change it. I saw someone with mesh and liked it alot.

I have the mesh in my grill. Check the local ricer shops. I got a big peice of mesh at Pep Boys for $30. If my car was anywhere near clean I would post pics.

I think it would look better without the bars in the grille. Too much going on in my opinion.

I agree, a little too busy. But as I always say, to each his own.

Its simply a badgeless grill before. Sorry, my sig is the best before I can post.
BTW, Like the mesh in the other post. Thanks for the input.

You mean this? You can get it at O'Reily's. It's made by APC for tuner cars and called "grill insert" comes in this blue and red. Mine is now painted black.

Im gonna say NO.
I like that factory, or the debadged grille look. Im still waiting for someone to do an aftermarket billet grille that runs horizontal instead of vertical.

04-24-2008, 10:45 AM

OK...Thanks for the feedback. Its back to being a plain Blackout grill. I agree it looked kinda odd.

Glad to see it gone. LOL at the "I'm Gay" grille.

Straight up, the reasons for my mesh grill, grashoppers, june bugs, viceroys, monarchs, bees, orange karates etc. You get the picture, easier to clean them off the mesh than the radiator and tranny cooler. If i stayed in town probably wouldn't need it, but that's not going to happen.
