I'd paint that rad support black if I were you but the grille looks way better now. Can't wait to see the lip painted and when you get eyelids and clean those headlights...

IMO paint the supports behind the grill with some black paint...I did that on mine because my mesh grill reveals everything behind it...I like the look of that black grill on your ride, I'm not usually a fan of those style grills but it looks good

thanks, its actually the ebay knockoff, got it cheap

be prepared to do some sanding and grinding to get it to fit if you go for it.

honestly dude, that lip should've been painted first, unless you just threw it on to see if it fit. sand headlights, paint lip, get a different grill. then, maybe i'll be able to look at it.

lip has been painted, stay tuned for updated pics. ive tried everything i can to clear the lights. and i like the grill. (being the ONLY one made for the 5th gen)

maybe say something a little less abrasive when voicing your opinion next time?

nope!!! my opinion, thats all. i dont like the grill, and there's a sanding kit you can buy to smooth over the headlights. like i said, maybe with the lip painted i'll like it a little better!!
