A custom one or off the shelf? I see you have a 2.5 so there is a pre made one for you.

I made one out of gutter guard and stuck it on using black zip ties. (Went for black instead of the chrome look).

I used the search like HQuakers said and didn't/couldn't find anything premade for the 2.5... can you post the link to this "premade one"...

I don't know if it was ever explicitly talked about, but I know there is one.

PM TLBaller. He has it.

I have the mesh grill but its not on a stock grill. I don't know how to do it on the stock ones sorry. There is that one dude from cali who I remember has a "TYPE S" emblem on his mesh'ed out grill. Go look in the picture gallery and look for a thread with 3 1st gen's from hawaii. the title was something like "meet back in april" or something..?

Yeah, i went to the photo gallery and checked it out... i've seen your ride TLBaller and its really nice... hell of clean... i could compliment your car for hours so i'll leave it at that...

anyways, i was looking at it closely... and its really not my style though... i want a racer on the inside (Engine) but keep it nice and luxurious on the outside (Body Styleing)... i'll have to wait and see what i can do for the billet grill... i really want a bit more chrome on the car...
