To tell you the truth , I think black would look better. Change the top grill also to match.

Where did you get the mesh from? Looking good.

Anyone knows if the mesh would obstruct the airflow to cooldown the radiator?

Mesh filling those fake fog light holes are bent, so is the left side of the main gutter mesh. Is this by intent?

i don't liek it. Get the grill tech version off ebay becuase it has smoothed out edges. Just my two cents.

Black I think is better:

1. Bugs, dirts, etc. won't be so obvious
2. Don't need to clean it often
3. Matches better with blue
4. Don't need to change the center grille

Overall...it looks cool DIY please

which one are you talking about??


i like it a lot, but the upper grille has to match. DIY PLEASE!!! i like how the silver/chrome mesh matches/blends w/ the chrome trim (doors, grille) of the car.

btw, i'm thinking of doing this, but the thing is, i will take off the stock upper grille and spray paint it silver/chrome... but i'm wondering if i doint like it, will i be able to take the paint off and be where i started?? or would i have to paint it black?

I bought it From an APC catalogue u can probably order it from any Schucks auto parts store or online.

As far as obstructing air flow my car has never heated up past normal so i don't beleive so.
