Post Anyone want a quality manufactured grill for our TL's???

Something like the Gutter guard grill, but more durable and superior construction from a manufacturing process, well they are not on the market yet but I have sent the guys at www.stylincompacts.com an e-mail saying that many TL owners are interested in a grill, these will probably work with our existing chrome outer piece and will be easy to install, something like the gutter guard grill, but wont rust, fade, crack or peel or anything like that...IF they decide to make it for our cars that is, so if you guys want them, email them at info@stylinconcepts.com ...

Exclamation

SNooK and me spoke at length with designers and a salesperson of GrillCraft last November at SEMA. We almost begged them to make grills for us. They told us that making grills for the TL would require 1,000 confirmed orders, minumum, from a distributor. And unless they could sell around 5,000 overall, it would not be cost-effective for them (We're talking the main grill and the large opening in the bumper & fake brake duct holes).
Hope you have better luck. Keep this thread updated...thanks.

In case you all are not aware, Foliatec makes an aluminized mesh that doesn't turn gray like the gutter guard does.

Got mine for about $35. It's enough to do at least two grills. It looks very nice.

Did anyone e-mail any of them yet? I would like it if anyone of them can make a blaze type grill. I would definitely go for that if it's under $300.
