Default Finally, the Grill

While I was out taking some snap shots of the new decals, I took a couple of the grill. And here they are before and after shots:

We have some Asian kids taht live in the house where that civic belongs. They have a bunch of different bunch of ricers. On the weekend, there's about 13-14 different cars there. They have a 1990 240 SX sitting there calling my name. They haven't driven it since we've been here, and that was back in September.

I bought that from EG Classics. I had to do a little bit of cutting so I could get the bug deflector on it. I didn't want to keep that off.

Thanks. I think it's worth the $200 I spent to get it.

How does that hold to the grill shell?

I've been wondering that... it looks amazing!

Just ordered this billet grille: from http://performancedodge.stores.yahoo...dchststbi.html #42232. Really got tired of looking at that crappy oem plastic. Not a fan of mesh style inserts.Also ordered bedside decal like bkjtimp has on his truck from klings designs. Will post pics when installed.

It looks good! For future reference, you can go down to Home Depot and get "Gutter Guard" rain gutter mesh. It looks identical (even better IMHO) and do a little plastic welding. Total cost: $10. I have done this on several cars/trucks of my own and friends. Fit and finish is top notch and the price is just right.

Masonry mesh works a little bit better from what I've found. It's a lot more sturdy and is stainless steel. You can get a 2 foot by 8 foot sheet for $7. I have a picture of what it looks like on my last car if anyone is interested.
