First day back from the Body Shop, I am glad I stuck with rally red, the car looks amazing...
I cant find the oem mesh grill material, this sucks, any one have an idea where I can get it, and please dont tell me Home Depot or Lowes, I am planning on getting the Evo IX Emblem for the front.

I used a genuine mitsubishi lower grille from the 8 bumper, and molded it to fit the upper area, also just to let you know, the 9 emblem doesn't attach, with the tabs you have, hope this helps.

I wasn't sure if I needed the tabs for the grill, I was going to re-paint them black.

I like it. The openness of the 9 bumper, but the style of the 8. Very good tasteful mix. I may have to do that to mine.

Ya I used mesh grill from a place local to me called autocityimports, they are a mail order .com company but they let me pick up because I was local, they had two types of mesh, the dimonds you see in my pics are the larger ones they have, they also have a mini dimond, but I wanted to keep it as close to stock, this is the best they had for local, online it was like 50 bucks a sheet 12x48 they had it for 25 bucks, half price.
