Pictures of the front bumper removed?

I think pics may have been posted before (or maybe at the other site), but I did a quick search and didn't come up with anything. I am seriously looking into making myself a custom 4 piece grill. If at all possible, I'd like to see the back of the bumper before I take it off. I've heard good things about GrillTech mesh, so I am probably going to buy a few sheets of that and just paint it black. If this works out and the cost isn't too high, I may make a few extras. Seems like once you get the right template and mounting system, a grill kit would be very easy to reproduce. So, if anyone has any fog light or headlight install pics that show the bumper from the back please post up.

Go under members. Do a search for member moda_way. He has a link to his car domain page in his sig. His domain has lots of useful pics including pics of the TSX with the bumper off.

For future reference and searches, here is the link to moda_way's cardomain site with pics of the front and back of the bumper.

I don't see any major obstructions in the back of the bumper. Looks like my grill kit is a go!

Can you provide any info on this GrillTech material? I'm also looking for something to cover the grill with. What I'd really like is some kind of perforated cover that could be removed for cleaning. My rad is filling up with bugs. I tried to spray them off with my pressure washer, but the force was enough to bend some of the rad fins. Not good.

Yeah, check out www.grilltech.com for more info. It's not the generic "gutter guard" material you see on eBay for $.50 a sheet.

My design is going to be something like this, but in black...

Hey, thanks for the promo... BTW, I used to live in Rankin County MS a while back. Rarely to I meet people from the "true south". If you have any questions, let me know. I'd be interested in a lower grill kit.

If thats your cup of tea then go for it. IMO its ugly, it cheapens the look of the TSX. Actually all those grills cheapen the looks of any car.

Well, for one thing, mine will be black. You won't even be able to see it unless you are within a foot or two of the car. A guy who lives in the building across from mine has a black grill kit on his Titanium Eclipse, and you can't even tell it is there. The silver does stick out too much, but I think it will look nice, clean, and unobtrusive in black.
