Ok Titan...after I finished crying laffin' of course at that friggin avatar...but man, first you have to slow down and write out what you want to say carefully. Kind of hard to understand you the way you write.

DOn't take this the wrong way but...As for the grilles, WTF?? Who did that work for you and what kind of mesh are you using? It doesn't look like it fits at all, in a MAJOR way! Not touching the edges, uneven, and too many gaps playa. You need to go back and do that again dude. I would hold back on asking these guys if they want some of that til you get yours right playboy! Good luck.

Lol..so you got the call you were having a kid...so you put on ALL of the grills back on and THEN went to your wife? lol

Anyways..congrats on the daughter!

I think the grilles came out kind of eh because everything looks too plain. I left the horizontal bar in the middle of the lower grill. Like this:

^^^ That actually looks pretty good! One of the better "mesh" grilles ive seen to date.

The only thing I dont like is the 2 wedges on the side where the T bar connected. If there was a way to smooth that out, then i think it would look REALLY good!

thanks. i had no idea what i was doing when i made it. i think it turned out pretty good but it's not to secure. ..

i notice a lot of people on here without the wedges in their trim. how was this accomplished? are there aftermarket grille trims for this car?

That doesn't look right, not at all. You should paint the grille, or use mesh that has a nicer look to it. That looks very cheesy on your car. Don't go cheap mesh on a nice car. It just ruins the whole look of the car. I can't believe that you can't see this. The grille looks very uneven in color and just doesn't look good at all. Keep working on it, you'll get it!

beuty is in the eye of the beholder besides its not cheap mesh its the same shit they use in all top line grills strut/lexani/cadilac/asanti exsetra..
If eny thing evry one on this form has cheap mesh!!It's a luxury car not a rice burner im trying to sho an easear way to do it why do you think no one makes grills for this car even after 4yrs.I have the idea but don't have the funds for a grill punch like all the big names.For the werk involved and doing it my self
I THANK IT'S PIMP NOT RACEY.Ya dig

Car just got back from the bodyshop. Had them do the grill, and for some reason they did the a-spec lip as well. Let me know what you think.

On the real bro I'm sure everyone is giving you good feed back which is what you asked for. No need to get salty about it. But, if you could do us a favor and read over your post before you submit them. Or write your post on your note pad and spell check before you copy and paste.

Does anyone have this same setup with the trim unpainted? I'm afraid a painted trim will chip. I have an appointment at the body shop this weekend and I need to instruct them on how to paint the grille.

Looking for pics of a WDP with blacked out grille, with trim and emblem untouched. Anyone?

Thanks.

Trew-I'd be more worried about the black paint chipping off and the silver showing behind it since there's more of a contrast, but good luck man.

My grill that I dont think I have posted before:
Lower grills are all black mesh
