just wanted to vent....

well i ventured out to get my ralliart grill from a guy who just sold his lance...i picked it up in perfect condition... and he took out an oz gauge and said for 20 more bucks ill throw this in.. i was like so i walked away with my ralliart grill and my oz gauges..... for 100 bucks total.. i am a happy man... i went home and popped my gauges in my es... wow i hate those peice of **** es gauges... theses are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooo much better than es gauges.... so i was having a good time.. i got around to throwing away my vis cf thong.... and then began to drill into my cf hood to make new holes for the screws which are off by like half an inch... after braking a screw off and drilling my finger i got the grill on... theres still a lil gap ... but it looks GREAAAAAT ... especially since the mesh matches the mesh on the bumper grills.... i am so happy now with my bleeding finger.. i will post ****ty pics in a minute!!!!

ps... are oz gauges supposed to have only one chrome ring and are the gauges supposed to be red stock?????just wondering..



edit ****ty pictures from camera phone added./









there ya go!

Dont you vent when something bad happens... or are you letting out drops of golden sunshine instead of steam?

I also just got a ralliart grill... they look so damn nice. The old thong grill is now in my room on my dresser, it actually looks cool sitting there.

i reallly like this grill to me its the best available.... and its mesh matches the mesh on the bumper... it also hides the center support on the grill space... sooo nice/// im gettin rid of the ralliart symbol and putting in a small lancer one from the new lancers...

Oz Gauges come stock with Red backlighting... They do not, however, come with any chrome trim, EVO gauges do.
