I'm tempty to...

So I thought this picture online the other day. I sort of want to try this on my car. What do you guys think? BTW If some of you have done this before, i would really appreciate if you post pictures of your car. Thanks

^Yes, i was checking this online no so long ago but 200 is bit expensive. It would be easier to install this in the car, however.

^ looks disgusting... You still have to cut your factory bar off.. The one piece look where the bottom V goes makes it look HUGE and nasty...

C-mod style grilles IMO are pretty ugly...I don't know why but I feel like it takes away from the front end.

Some people say it makes it look "meaner" or whatever...but I'm not a fan lol. the one one that type-s isn't too bad though..I think it depends on the color of your car

that's the way to go bro! DIY ftw. Well i would suggest home depot lol, i did my own grill for my Accord 05 3 yrs ago by using a sheet of mesh sold in Home depot since they have various design, then from there i bought the paint spray can as well as the clear paint can to protect the paint from chips. Then just get a big pair of mesh cutter and walla! lol. I used zip lock to tie my mesh on to my bumper and i must say it came out really good. just a few pointers.
