2k lower grill options?

Hey all,

I want a lower grill for my 2k max. Just the lower one as I don't want to cut my stock grill. From all the posts, it appears the grill tech rusts easily.

what other options do I have? HELP!!

go to home depot and get a gutter cover for about $5!!!
you just have to cut a little bit off each end and zip tie it in place.
looks EXACTLY the same as the expensive grill tech one.
and if it rusts you can replace it for $5!!!

I second the home depot option. I've got my grille mesh sitting in my trunk. Never got around to doing it. I think it'll look better in front though. just my opinion. I don't know for sure though, like i said, i haven't done it yet.

i tried up front but it wont work right. only the zipties will hold it on. with it in the back, the lower part actually slides in a groove in the bumper.

YEA! thats what I need. I like the street scene. some questions if you can answer:

- where can I get it?
- how much?
- how easy/difficult was install?
- is it stainless? will it rust?
- what mesh pattern and color did you select.

thanks,


das

Street Scenes grill, or just the valence if you prefer, is THE way to go. I have had mine covered in snow for some time and NO rust......
