Default Front Mesh Grill

I would like to get your guys thoughts on what grill you think looks the best. If you have pictures of a grill on yours I would love to see a picture and know where you got it.

I like the stock look. More air to the intercooler = more power. I've made some "bling" mods to my SRT-4, but none at the expense of the engine. Plus, the look of the I/C through the stock grill is awsome!!

I like the stock look, but I like to modify so I picked C.

I can appreciate your concern. I avoid big rigs like the Black Death. They're bad news no matter what you drive.

In real-world terms, the reduced flow probably won't make a difference you'll notice, but considering you live in the desert heat, you may want to consider your driving habits. Do you drive when it's the hottest outside? Do you drive around a lot of big rigs? Weigh the answers and make your choice. In any case, you can always put the stock ones back on....

I have the wire mesh on option B. I like it. it seperates me from the other SRT's here in Germany. The funny thing is were multiplying like BeBe's kids. I remember it was just me here in Giebelstadt/Wurzburg, now its like everyone is catchin on!!

B and C look to be the same to me, the only difference being the cars colors and lighting. A looks to restrictive and not too good either. I would go with B or C.

well i would go with option b, especially since that's what i have on my car, and the pic that you posted for it is my car!!! lol i was the demo car for customcargrills for that style of mesh, i also was the one that wrote the installation directions, so you can yell at me if they're confusing! [&:] wow that was a while ago...the car doesn't look the same anymore!!

i've had this grill on my car since last october or so. i've noticed no difference in the temperature that the car runs at or boost levels seen (the butt dyno hasn't noticed a change), and i have seen a huge difference in the amount of rocks that don't hit my intercooler now! i took a look at another car that's about as old as mine and still had the stock black mesh on, and the intercooler was a mess. dents everywhere, tons of bugs stuck in it, just kinda nasty. my intercooler only has one small dent in it that was there from before i changed the grill.

the openings are slightly smaller than the stock ones, but this helps protect the ic and doesn't change the cooling effects of the ic. stock i saw 15 psi on a regular basis, and now i see spikes to 20 holding at 18. [sm=smiley20.gif]

the thing i noticed about b and c are the top pieces. If you look B is back farther where as in C the grill is closer to the front
