So I have been looking around at front grills and I had to vent for a moment. I have seen some nice looking grilles here and there. I am looking more twords fiberglass or mesh cause billet just dosent go well when your not sitting on 20's and well I listen to country and rock.... ANY WAYS... My gripe is with the fact that a decent or off the ordinary grille runs the same price as i dont know A NEW EXHAUST for my car..... WTF are the people selling these thinking you EFFING scamers...... Hmmmm grille for my car for $300 or new i dont know BRAND NEW Y pipe... sorry I was just disgusted on the rip off of these things......I havent fiberglassed in YEARS but I may give it a try if I want to look a little different in the front end then everyone else..... ok I calm...wooooooooo...... Input anyone???? other then I was whining like a oh what do they call those.... umm a lil bee@tch LOL

 

Yeah, grilles aren't going to be the cheapest things period. But, it is cheaper than getting an exhaust set up (y, b-pipe, mufflers, etc.) Here are a couple of suggestions for you:

This might be a little bit more expensive but it's nothing compared to a t-rex grille:

Finally, if you want to customize your stock grille and make it mesh. Here's where you can get some quality mesh:

Keep the stock grille? Whats the problem?

 

PM SENT

 

you get what you pay for. I purchased a "cheaper" ebay mesh grill for my 06 max and ended up getting the c-mod mesh grill. It was worth the extra $$$ b/c it was better contructed and had the lower tabs that help keep the grill on the bumper. my 2 cents.

 

LMAO! I just got my 04 6-speed and I was thinking the same exact this when I was looking at grills on ebay. I hate the way people over price things that shouldn't be expensive like grills, spoilers, floor mats, etc... I have decided I'm just going to mod the stock grill to make it look however I want and know its going to fit the way it should. Takes a little more creativity and work but it should be worth it.

 

Speaking of which.. Does anyone have a write-up or general knowledge on how to modify the stock grille? I have never done anything like this before but I would like to strip the chrome finish off, cut out the egg crate on both sides, and replace that with mesh.. Then a nice coat of plastidip and Ill be done.

 

you can always make your own

 

Did you make this out of the stock grille?

 

yea thats my stock grill

 

Wow! Good job. That's what I'm talking about. What year max is that? You know you're gonna have to make a write-up on how you did this, right?

 

thanks bro its an 08 I know i gotta get around to writing one up.
at one point I was talking with BASF to produce them

 

Grille looks GOOOOOD man!!

 

I have an 04 but I think this would be a similar process. It looks great!

 

 

I went with the c-mod and never looked back - great choice and worth every penny

 

You get what you pay for... i paid a little over $200 for mine if i remember correctly but that a was a long time ago lol. We dont drive honda civics.. parts arent that common for our car nor are they cheap. When you get into the moddin game.. you gotta throw down the $$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!!!!
