Default PICS of my new chrome grill and mesh vent inserts. Finally.

I finally got to take some pics of the new grill for everyone. I originally thought the chrome was too much. Now that I have completed the mesh inserts for the lower front vents, I have to say I am now very happy with my front end. I think it is what the nose has been calling out for all along.
Now I don't look like a squashed minivan front end anymore.





see my gallery for some additional pics.

Looks very nice from the pictures but chrome side vents and side mirror housings are needed to complete the look.

I concure with Dan. Where did you get the mesh grilles and how much? I think they would look very good on my Silver coupe. I want those for sure. Thanks in advance,

Hi all, sorry I haven't been in touch lately. I will try to answer everyones questions.

1. The chrome grill came from a company in Germany that was selling it on E bay. I have not seen it anywhere else. It seems to be a high quality product.

2. On the mesh grill inserts, NO I am not making these or selling them. It is real simple for anyone that wants these to make them themselves. I went to Auto Zone and purchased a "ricer" grill insert sheet. About $30. I then poped out the black grill pieces and layed them on the mesh. Marked out the pattern on the mesh and then cut it out with a heavy duty scissors. A little fine tuning to make it fit inside the trim pieces and then attached the mesh to the vents with a couple of clear zip ties. (not even visible). All in all it took less than an hour to accomplish what I always new my front end needed.


Thanks for all the comments. Let me know if you need anything else.

I think it looks hot! Is that the same grill from the other crossfire accessories website? (See my post "Chrome Grill Now Out" under tech and modification)
