I hate my grill

Ok, not so much even my grill, but the funky place where the front badge (o5 es) is. It looks ugly as ****. I really like the way teh ralliart grills look, not two little funky pieces, but all the same across. I know (and will, sometime) you can some other material to make grills out of, but its that crappy center pillar I cannot stand. I can't find any grill kits for my almost new car, what can I do?

If I'm not mistaken RRM makes a "sports grill" that will fit your car.

you can always get a front bumper that doesn't have the center pillar....but I happen to like it really.....kinda grew on me....I put some mesh grills in place of the stock grilles and it makes it look a lot better to me.

well my car is 05 es, rmr doesn't have the right part for my car. I'll check carbontrix. Accolade does..... Some nice bumpers. the pic above is exactly what I don't need, its the emblem (which I will remove shortly) and the 'nose' sticking out behind it I don't like

don't do an Accolade kit, whatever you do wait until a quality product comes out that you like.

You don't like the middile pillar thing? The only reason my girlfriend won't buy a new Lancer is because they got rid of that sporty looking front end...

People need to quit b*tchin about Accolade, until they tried it themselves. Many people b*tch about them based off other peoples experience. Don't knock it until you tried it.

Well, *I* (not that anyone said I was) wasn't *****in' about accolade, simply because I *haven't* bought any of their products... (ok I did think the rpw/dp/high flow cat was a ripoff. ..) But I really liked the selection of body parts they had for my newer car. Of Course, caring much more about speed than looks, I had sworn I wouldn't get a body kit, but I really do hate that pillar in front.... oh well, I'm broke for the time being anyhow.
