So I regret cutting my stock grille to see the IC because now the IC scares pretty much everybody away. Since I cut out the stock grille, I was wondering if anybody else has done that before and found a aftermarket grille that can still be installed when the whole stock grille has been physically removed.

I'd basically need something that could be installed with it being supported on the outer edges instead of being supported by the stock grille. Or does anybody have any ideas how I could get this going?

Only thing I can think of his having some plastic work done to melt a grille in or something.... But I have pretty much zero knowledge of body work...

 

ud probably have to buy a grille from a hardware store and do it ghetto style

 

buy an aftermarket bumper... Nismo?

 

I'll probably end up stopping by home depot, or lowe's and looking at the rain gutter mesh. Unless I can find a website that has mesh comparible to Stillen's with a sheet available. That and glue/bondo work to hold it.

I'm looking to use my existing bumper, and not buying a new bumper. Not looking at throwing a lot of money to just look stock.

 

Sorry you had to go through this .... This makes me even happier I cover my FMIC always stay sleeper... I believe the T-Rex grille allows for a cut out oem grill and install..... Ill get back to ya.....

Ok found it....

Im almost positive this grill requires you to cut your OEM grill out because the grill is attached with black tooth clips to the Bumper.. Email the seller and ask.... Hope this helps......

 

thanks! look foward to hearing about that.

 

Hey check that out for now.. Ill still look around for more grilles to make certain you have more than one option....

Here is the T-Rex...

For info on it contact intensepower.... They will know if you could still install without OEM Black Grille.. Im still looking for more though..

 

Yup definately still looking, after looking at the t-rex grille's I still will probalby go with something else as I'd really like a grill style like Stillen's versus a vertical or horizontal type grille.

 

OK GOT IT!!
