I finally purchased mine weeks ago and I just got it back from my friend who painted it black and applied a layer of clear coat. Gonna install it over the weekend, hopefully.

are you planning to install the upper grill over your stock grill?? or will you be cutting it out??

i've been wanting to get both upper and lower grills, but i dont know how to go about cutting out the factory grill.

When i first join the org, Kpazzo6 said it's possible to install the upper grille without cutting out the OEM grille. He has a how-to on his cardomain site. The only thing is that you have to remove the bumper in order to install both grilles. Are you okay with removing the bumper?

I sprayed quite a bit of clearcoat on my SS grilles in an attempt to avoid any rust problems....also put mine over the factory grille, no cutting.

MaximaTong

thanx, but i've seen Kpazzo6's write-up a long while ago. what i would like to know is how the hell do people cut out their stock grill??...after that, how do you install an aftermarket grill in its place??

I have both the Upper and lower SS grill on my 2k Max. Well, you won't have to cut off the whole stock grill but you might have to cut little slots on the Factory grill to fit the SS grill. You'll know what you have to cut once you get your grill. Make the tiny cuts around & fit the SS grill right on top of the Factory grill and secure it with the clips that comes with the SS. The clips will slip right on and it will secure it pretty good. Hope this would help!

I've had mine thru 2 chicago winters & to this day still no discoloration or rust. I got the idea of not cutting OEM grill from BigDogJonx.

So, basically its your choice. I chose not to cut it, just in case I take it out later or sell car I can remove it & still have OEM grill behind it.

My lower grille has started to show signs of rust after a year. I would definitely recommend spraying quiet a few coats of clear coat paint all over the grilles prior to installing them.

I have had mine through 2 new england winters and the only rust I found was on the clips that hold it in. For those who deside to cut there factory grill out the best tool for that is the Roto Zip. Thats what I used, it worked great.

I only have one pic on my CarDomain, but you can see the grille. I only liked the lower valence. Enjoy.

Uh....stainless steel doesn't rust. That is one of its key properties.

I don't think these are stainless steel. I think they're aluminum, arent' they?
