I am debating on getting one of those billet grilles. I have seen them on different 5th gens. Can anyone pics pics of them on your ride? ALSO What kind do yall think looks the best on our car and where can i buy them?..thanks

 

I wish billet grilles would fit our car. But they only make Billet grilles for 2k2-2k3. We got the crappy street scene one.

This is the one u were talking about?

actually i do like the street scenes grillle over the billet one. Where can i get the street scenes grille from???

 

Go to www.streetsceneeq.com or www.streetscene.com. One of them is to research and the other one you can actually purchase the grill from. I forgot which one exactly.
I just bought the grille from them and I am looking for a good body shop that can help me install it. I am in Hartford, Ct. Any suggestions?

 

the money Home Depot grille backing ($10): Fits perfect, looks good, painted to match OEM grille.

 

how long did it take for u to size them and what did u use to paint them ?

i got the gutter cover... but told it is galvanized, cannot be painted easily.

cheers,

get a 2k2 bumper,,and then billet away

 

damn..215 bucks..no way man. thats too expensive..

 

What is holding the grille mesh to the bumper?

 

Magic!

 

I hope Irish didn't use zipties.

 

i think she did or twist ties

 

Get the 2k2-2k3 bumper and the stock grill for it....just paint it body color and you are set.....

mine is still stock color.....

 

It was trial and error...I messed up the first try. It's actually two pieces (left and right) cut to precisely fit/wedge themselves in there flush with the back of the OEM grill.

Yes they are galvanized gutter covers....paint doesn't stick well to galvanized but I got a certain primer that said it is for galvanized metal especially and then painted it with Dupli-color automotive spray paint...soryy I don't have the primer can so can't tell you what it was called exactly.

not zip ties, just some shoelaces j/k

Actually I used zip ties with metal clips (very strong)....3 on the lower grill and 6 total on the upper. I strategically located them so they almost impossible to see unless you're actually looking for them up close (see if you can see any in the pics - probably just the bottom one on the bottom grill, which I have relocated since the picture)......the grills are VERY secure - I pushed hard on the front of them and they didn't budge....
