Hell yea...

If you do this you will look even better than you do now:

1) Get home depot silver metal gutter mesh (like mine.)
2) Cover your grille and valance with the mesh
3) Put on SMX Grille

Result ? One HOTT Max !!!

i'll agree with Flava in ya eaarr....

.. SMX grille with mesh inserts looks good.... Look at ny96max's car.. That must be the nicest front end of a max i've ever seen. It looks clean as hell, especially with a front lip. But if anything, you can get a 97-99 grille and with little modification it will fit your car.. I think they look way better then 95-96 grilles.

If you like the Trenz grill Greg at Custommaxima.com is supposedly working on one for the 95-96. Last I heard he sent in a 95-96 grill from one of the members to get it test fitted.

Nay. No offense to the guys who have the grill, but it makes the max look like a Pontiac IMHO. Look at the grill on my 95 in my sig, thats the way to go!

BTW I think the trenz grill looks is even worse then the SMX grill.
