Upon looking at the bolts holding the grille on, I found that the grille is broken on several parts where the bolts are. The sides aren't attached how they're supposed to be, and they're kinda hanging off. So now I've been looking for a replacement for the grille, I want one that isn't going to do this again, at least for a long time. The best I've found was an all chrome one for $90 at LMC. Has anyone seen anything along these? I wanna stick with the stock look.
My grille is the same way. I am trying to convince the wife to let me get a new one but until that happens I used some black cable ties to hold it in place and prevent the vibration that came with driving. I willtry and get some pics later today.
