Has anyone replaced the front grill?

resdm50 · 02-28-2010, 07:03 AM

Hey guys, I've been toying with the idea lately of replacing the plastic grill on the bumper with a mesh of some sort. Has anyone else done this? If so, how were the results?

i think i saw a pic once just by happenstance and i remember it looking pretty good actually

resdm50 · 02-28-2010, 01:34 PM

Thanks fairlady. Do you or anyone know how to take off the grill?

fairladyZ34 · 02-28-2010, 01:50 PM

i havent looked how to take the grill off but i think the member that did it was the one that has his rear done in carbon fiber and is getting the rest done but i cant remember his name

fairladyZ34 · 02-28-2010, 01:52 PM

I hate that type of gril.

I tend to call it a chicken fence

It tends to look cheapass

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think the front grill comes off, it's molded to the bumper. I could be wrong though.

Even so, they should paint it black...Nothing takes me back to the 90's like front bumpers with mass chicken wire.

Oh, I agree 100% I'm just not entirely sure that the grill even comes off. I know for a fact it didn't on the 350.

Put down the gutter guard and slowly back away.
