TRENZ or STOCK ??

I have the trenze grille on my 97 front end now and I dont know if I like it...its such a drastic change after looking at the hole car and seeing the front stick out...now that im lowered I think I relized that I might want to go back to stock...When I did the convertion I had no other choice cause I had to make a decision in minutes and the trenze grille was in my hands from my buddy...what do you honestly think

I have the home depot stuff on the bottom two sections and I can probably make the top stock grill look really nice with some red paint in the middle and home depot stuff on the open parts

go back to STOCK. If you have any doubts on the trenz then stay with what you like more. I personally have a trenz and I like the look IMO

Its all in the eyes of the beholder, at first it was a major change, now its grown on me, i still wish idnd't get one of the grills that didn't have the center beam down the middle... BOOO, oh well... and with it lowered it would look even nicer...

When did they start putting that bar down the middle in the front? mine has the bar on the back side where you cant see it while the others are in the front? doesnt make sense. They said it was for "structural ridgity" but why not keep the bar on the back where its not seen?

If you have a front lip = Trenz.
If you don't = Stock.

The Trenz grill is a little too bling bling for my tastes. I would stay stock or try my hand at the home depot grille.

That's the point. What kind of V8s would you expect to beat?

Oh, hahah, yeeeeuh. My bad. I think with all the standard bolt-ons, VI, and then turbo the Max can hold its own amongst quite a few V8 sedans and sports cars, even some American iron.

those trenz grills make the max look like a pickup from the 90's you know all those aluminum custom grills, but then again, one can do whatever they want with their own max, but that dont mean i sh*t in mine just cause i can.
