Hey guys,

I was wanting to get rid of the ugly base lower grills and swap them with the type s grills.

I've talked to ACKTL05 and he said you just have to cut a couple clips then rotate them.. Has anyone ever done this? If so can you post pics?

Thanks

 

bryce, you'll never learn if you dont get your hands on the project.

if Bruce said that they fit, by cutting a couple clips and then rotating them, why not believe bruce?

he's the man!!! and has done it before.
buy the lower grilles, then figure out how to do it, per Bruce.

Bruce isnt going to lie to you.

 

I just want to see pics of it done man lol

 

the thing is, I dont think any one has done it, or, its not documented here on acurazine.

if it has the general shape and per bruce "cut some tabs" then most likely it will work.
you just need to get your hands on it!

get further instructions from Bruce!!!

 

Get the type s lip. I have it over my base bumper. It removes them.

 

then do it on your own car and take some pics for yourself to see

listen to justnspace, hes being very patient and helpful to you

 

OR you could get the Type-S lip AND mod the lower grills and you'd get this:

 

I've tried to install TLS grill on my base TL. You would need to trim the sides to make them fit. Base bumper looks like its smiling and the TLS looks like its frowning.

This is a TLS front



If you flip them upside down it makes the grills look like base



You would need to trim the sides



Only this member I've seen modded the grills to fit

literally cutting some tabs and flipping it.
wow, suh hard.

 

If all you wanted was pictures, why not just ask for pictures? You asked an expert and he told you it was possible.

My favorite domestic muscle car owner is here

 

Well I took everyone's advise on here telling me take the challenge on myself and I have to say I'm pretty impressed.. I'll give a better picture in the morning but here's what I got

 

I wish more newbies would take the initiative on their projects as you did, great job


Yes I do want better pictures of it too

 

Here's a better picture.. I had to tune it a little but to be able to see them

 

Very nice. I cut between were honeycombs stop & fog hole then reattached with JB Weld myself

 

came out nicely!

(and smiley)

The TLS has a robocop scowl face

 

Yea I didn't use any to attach mine I put them back as two pieces.. It's easier to take the fog light housing off when I want to remove the yellow lami-x cover ha

 

Looks good, honey comb design so much better looking
