This whole subject gets old. Do a search, this question comes up every 2-3rd day. I beat the moderators to it, but SEARCH is your friend, its up in the top right corner.
---right between FAQ and Home----

....i have a trenz...

Check homepage...

Home Depot grill is very subtle and cost only $5, Trenz Billet Grill is way too loud, always remind me of those jacked up Ford trucks you see on the street!!! If you put a trenz grill on, make sure you get the Trenz gun rack to go along with it!

Home depot grill: turns heads and total cost was $4.63, with 2 hours labor (only cause i stopped to eat). spend the rest on something else

Home Depot all the way

Home Depot all the way and here is why:

- very subtle, not too showy
- customizable
- inexpensive
- can paint any color you want
- figuring out how to make it is a challenge
- if you do not like it ------------->>>>>>>>>> REMOVE IT

Also, IMO the Trenx is too flashy for my taste. It looks like someone $hit a vented slab of aluminum on the front of your car.

Too bling - bling for me

it's down the isle that gutter material is for sale, it's a mesh gaurd (looks like chicken wire) you'll need about 3 sheets if you're doin the whole front of a 95-96. the sheets are around $1 ea.

ask someone else for a better write up on how to do it, i can't explain. it's more of trial and error of cutting and fitting, then following specific directions.

Get da depot stuff

I did it the depot way!, It took two nights of cutting and fitting, and I used FISHING LINE, to keep it in, it's cheap durable & invisible at 2 ft. plus if some d!ckhead decides they want it, the don't have to screw up your car to get it, and you're only out $5.00

Damn dude are you a body man or somethin? How can you tell from that small sig pic? To answer your question, yes, the car was completely totalled when I bought it, Remanufactured Title. I've tried to fix that gap in the dr. side fender and hood, but that's the best I could do. But it sure looks better than when I bought it!
