LOL The Mod Bug strikes again!

Looks great, especially with the rims!

looks good (all you need is a bag of cash and slap a set of 4.6is kit to it.)

Looks great, did you paint the grill yourself or buy one off ebay?

Black Grille
 
Hi

I painted this myself with a good rubbing down, followed by metal primer, black turbo (high teperature paint and a couple of coats of clear laquer. I figure it won't sustain to many bug hits and may end up going down the e-bay route.

Many Thanks

Bruce

thats what i was thinking, for $10 its worth a try. All the ebay ones are $50-70 and I've heard of problems with fitment.

Nice!!!

Looking good. The glossy finish is a nice touch. I am not fond of the typical eBay matte finished grilles. Nice match with your wheels too. :thumbup:
