Post your grille!

Thinking about replacing my stock black/chrome grille with something a little more attractive...I'll probably go with chrome, but it'd be nice to see exactly what my options are..

If you have a pic of your grille, post it up!

your options are simple

sarona
s5
stock or
the chrome stock one they make

i think the stock one painted body color and emblem left chrome looks the best

Unpainted bumper?
My whole car has a custom Pearl white paint job. If your refering to the dark lip kit, well its not painted because its carbon fiber, as is the rest of the kit, the hood, the spoiler and trunk.
but, i know people are just anxious to chime in and try and bash others rides.


Here is another pic of my grill and the "unpainted" lip.

Well if i painted all my CF white, the car would look like everyone elses and would not be unique anymore and that just isnt my style.

Dude, your car looks incredible. I've always loved white cars with black or carbon lips.

Anyways, here's my grill.

Yes I know I need to replace my bumper so spare me. NYC streets parking FTL.

I think the stock SE body color grill looks the best IMO.

ha ! i didnt notice that at first, flava what the heck is that ? now I know whatever it is you just using that until you can have you custom carbon fiber hood struts made up.

it could be a stick ? people have used all kinds of things from brooms, kids toys (ex plastic rake) my memory is bad but through the years i have seen some funny stuff used to keep the hood open.

a well known problem with the 4th gens were weak hood struts. i just carry vice grip pliers everywhere, but be warned, if someone doesnt know they are there or forgets and trys to force your hood down it will bend or dent the hood.

back when i had a cf hood i actually kept my hood struts cause they were shot but its reccommended you toss them with a cf hood.

Looks good. Yeah, I guess body color is the best choice...but my Max is black... might just look like the 95-96 grille with the horizontal bar blending in :/

dude, it's called jdm buddy. The whole point of carbon fiber is not to paint it.

If he paints his carbon fiber, that it really woudln't be carbon fiber.

Carbon fiber = Less Weight + Style
