Interest a billet grille on our's TL with picture

Hey Guy,

Im work at a billet grille manufacturer at just wonder anyone of you interest a billet grille for pur's TL??

Here what I had in my mind Sorry I not good at photo shop so I just use the old school way "Paint"

1: This one is a 2 pcs bolt over one just easy put it on top of the fastory plastic grille and it will hold by this kind of backet





2: 2nd one a kind of like a flush have the take out the factory Grille(the metal one hold the emblem) no need to cut

Bar thickless is 3mm



3: 3rd Same as 2nd one but the bar is thicker 7mm


4: same as 2nd and 3rd only less bar 3mm-4mm thickless


well maybe some pplz will feel weird TL with a billet grille but maybe some pplz want it so just asking anyone interested.

if anyone are interested please let me know, I need 30pplz to make this happen

The first one looks good, but you would need pieces for the lower grilles for it to look right overall.

Off topic, but is that your front license plate behind the left duct opening?

eh, I think its different... but maybe a mesh grill would suit the car better?

I also think its going to be a pain to install unless its just, "pop out" old grill ~ "pop in" new one.

if you post pics of the lower ones as well, then it might flow, but just with that in the centre, it doesn't flow smoothly. BTW, it might have to be a clip on thing becaus the grille is made into the bumper.

I think its a good idea, you just need to find the right design. The 'louver' look isn't working. Maybe a single piece, body colored.

Yea I was thinking for the lower one too,for the lower one I think is going to turn out a cutout grille which you have to cutout the 4 small bar + some pplz on ebay already sell the lower trim and I think that will work easier ^^^Picture on top^^^

IMO, your bottom grilles look better.
I'd preffer a Caddy V-series or Bentley style grill.
It would have much better quality and look way better than billet style.

Its not that easy and can get him booted with the quickness from this site...dont take him down that road before he is ready to go there. He has to become a vendor here first.

while discussing the idea is cool, i wouldn't suggest anyone place orders until Ken has a vendor tag.

Not my cup of tea at all .. I think it ruins the flow of the frontal design.

No....relooking at it...its NOT the top one thats growing on me OR that I was talking about. Its the second one...or one of em that the whole unit...not integrated with whats there at all. Basically....I can see running this durring off race times...and taking it completely out altogether at race for ventilation purposes.

I deleted a bunch of posts. Ken is trying to find out how many people are interested in this mod, and screwing up his thread with negative posts is not helpful to the people who might want one.

If you don't have anything positive or constructive to post, stay out of the thread.

You can take this as a suggestion or a warning, depending on your attitude or reading comprehension skills.

If you can modify the grills to look like this (photoshoped),...it will look HOT!
