hmm so the mesh is held up by those tabs. and if we wanna remove it to paint or w/e, we gonna have to bend the tabs out, then take the mesh out, then put it back and bend the tabs in again?

i have no problem with this method, just wondering if the tabs will snap from bending multiple times

The tabs are really resilient and will not break with multiple bends (don't abuse, of course, you won't be taking it out on a regular basis).

The cost stands for now...paint not factored in quite yet.

Grill boxes are coming in next week and we will start shipping then! No sense in shipping grilles in poor boxes.

Has this finished product been put on a car and pictures been taken or did I miss that part. This thread is filled with upsetting conversation, didn't really want to search through it all.

Glad to see this is coming around, and excited to see it installed.

No pictures of the grille on our car yet. Can HT install it first so people have an idea of the finished product on our car? I feel like I've asked for pictures of it on our car before....

i hate to say this..but im not too sold on the silver mesh looking at that second picture. Can you plastidip it or spray paint it black before you put it on? Can you source out your own honey comb mesh? honey comb looks the best

sorry guys, i always tell the ladies not to leave their heels there, taking up all my space. guess that's what you gotta deal with when you are a stud

here are my set of pictures. everything is good now and im pretty happy with the outcome. i agree a honey comb mesh would be great, but good thing the tabs allow us to switch to w/e we want.

but with that said, the mesh that came with it, once blacked out, looks A LOT better.

enough talking, here are the pics

without mesh


with mesh


















fitment: overall it fits pretty well, marcus has some better pics showing the fitment. the only gripe i have is that the side approaching the headlight sticks out about 1mm. you cant really see it unless you run your finger on it or go up really close, but maybe i am just being super critical.

ok first off, the fitment issue really isnt that noticeable in pics atleast, so thats great. Second, mesh does look ALOT better in black. Third, what a difference it is seeing an A in the centre instead of an H. Overall looks good. Is it painted yet though? looks black. You should paint match the outer trim but leave the middle bar black..i thnk that would look good in your color, atleast in my head lol

congrats to marcus for finally getting this grille off the shelf
