Custom Grill

After putting up with the ugly azz stock grill I decided to make a change. Tell me what you think.

Thanks for the pic Ryan!!

Yes, either paint the top grill mesh black, or change the lower mesh to silver. I used to have my grill silver, then I painted it to match the bottom, and it looks 10x better. You will be pleased with the look, trust me.

I am going to replace the lower grill with the silver one as well but it looks like the only way to get at them is to remove the front bumper. I didnt want to go black because my whole car is black and I thought the black grill looks fishy on a all black car.

The rims are ASA AR1's

Is there an easier way to get at the lower grills?

hahahaha thnx man

I dont think im going to color match the grill, its just to much black at the front of the car. I like it on different colors but I have seen some pics of some black ones and it looks like the whole car was painted black and that there is no detailing

Rims are ASA AR1's with 35 series rubber

The grill was super easy maybe took about 20 minutes plus the time to dry.

Does anyone know how I can get at the lower grills without taking off the front fascia?
