That grill actually looks like it fits better then the real AT gril. No matter how hard i tried i couldnt get the top to sit flush like that on my AT gril. Holes were too close together and bowed the grill akwardly.

ARGH,

Nice job!!

When you say that you painted it...does that mean that you painted the mesh and the fiberglass parts that surround the mesh as well?

I.E. Did you paint the whole thing????

And what parts did you sand? (Surely not the mesh?)

Well he sells grilles for alot of diff cars. Before i bought it, i remember his site saying hes going on vacation. All in all shipping was fast to Cali. Great product. You cant beat the price. I also looked on ebay and couldnt find this grille at the time i was planning on buying it. $136.00 cant be beat.

Also it says 1 quantity left on this item, but im thinking he hasnt got back yet to update the quantity. When i bought mine the quantity was 13. So im sure when he gets back youll be alright.

I was going with that same setup of grille you have fastmax. I originally wanted this type of grill when I saw it on Chern's red max.
