Everytime I come into this thread I have a different opinion of the mod. One time I will love it, the next time I come in I start getting really critical about the latch portion that drops down. If that part wasn't there, it would be much better. I don't remember the guys that did this mod ever making that part stand out so much.
This time in the tread I really like it.

looks great! I also have an 04 TL 6 Speed, just got it two months back. Quick question on the 'inserted mesh' for ur lower grill; where did u get the mesh from ? what type of material is it ? and are the fog lights bolted onto the chasis or the bumper ? do you have any DIY pics.. i really would like to remove my horizontal bars and atleast put the fogs... thanks for ur help.

speaking of a tampa meet, there's one in orlando on sunday the 8th. Check the meets section! Also I think if the mesh was a bit more finer, it would hide that latch better and look a whole lot better...

Just a little friendly criticism. The grille looks kinda cheesy as is. I think if you paint matched it, it would look a lot better. Also keeping the inner black mesh. The 3G TL grille area is on the large side. Being black/raw plastic makes it look bigger, too big for a open mouth style. If your car was NBP, I think it would flow better in black. My

pics got erased. so here they are again..
REMOVE FRONT BUMPER
2. REMOVE CENTER PIECE and emblem FROM GRILL ( screws )
3. CUT OUT CENTER BAR behind emblem ( hacksaw )
4. either sand down the edges or just hacksaw it off more.
5. PUT BUMPER BACK ON
6. BY NOW YOU SHOULD HAVE REMOVED ALL THESE PARTS
7. NOW YOU NEED TO DRILL A HOLE ON EACH SIDE .( THERE ARE MARKINGS)
THESE ARE THE DRILL BITS I USED
I USED SAME CLIPS AS ORIGINAL GRILL
8. JB WELD THE BOTTOM AND YOUR DONE!!!
