advice on my grille?

can anyone give me a little advice... should I do my grille myself with that gutter guard, or is it worth it to order the stuff from whoever it is that is selling custom fit pieces? Is the gutter guard stuff junk?

I have heard a few people talking about folia tech, is that better than the gutter guard? Where do I get it?

Any advice would be appreciated,

thanks.

and a side question, do you consider a cl-s an import car even though it is designed and built in the US?

I have gutter guard...cheap...flimsy...about a half an inch too short. Never heard of folia tech. I am personally gonna buy the pieces from st2000 soon, just because the gutter guard seems like its loosing it's shine after a while. Don't get me wrong...it looks real hot and have had nothing but compliments...but I want the real thing!!!

I used foliatec mesh for my Mugen grill. It's amazing stuff. Very strong, and doesn't turn gray. It's anodized aluminum so it isn't affected by the elements.

wow that looks fantastic. where did you get that piece to go around the center? is that part of a body kit?

and did you use double thickness in the fog location or is that just the angle...

Try the picture again. Yahoo's been flaky.
Here's another shot. Sorry it's soo small


Oh and as for the front plate frame. I got something new. I gotta take some pics of it. Looks really nice.

It's the Mugen grill that I customized. There used to be this bar going down the middle that I cut out and re-meshed the entire thing. The fogs are single pieces of the foliatec. Must be the angle.

I think I got the mesh from here: http://www.ppsonline.net/foliaext.htm
