Default chrome trim grill with a TWIST

here is a grill that I did on my car, I did the 2 outside verticle pieces as well for a slightly different look. I will take it off if I end up NOT liking it, BUT so far, I like it.

you use self adhesive, cheap door edge chrome trim for a autoparts store and cut it to length and install.

Looks Good. That grill definitely helps your Z stand out a little bit more. Nice variation to the chrome trim grill concept.

I don't think the chrome grill works for everyone - but it looks good on your car. Goes real nice with the CS color and the wheels.

I can't even see the clear bra line. That makes me want to go out and get one installed. lol I'm digging those wheels the more I see them. The chrome grill isn't really my thing, though. The rest of the car is dynamite...

I wasn't so sure of it either (IN fact I HATE chrome and chrome trim on cars, LOL), but it was only $6 so I thought I would try. I wanted a mesh grill, BUT on the CS it looks like too much of the same color and NO contrast. The more I look at it the more I like the way it worked out, when I look at it stock, it almost seems like somehting is missing.

btw, you hardly notice the clear bra, well worth it.

I agree that I am not a fan of the chrome trim on cars, but I like it on yours. It defintely needs the verticals on both sides. I think that just sets it off. 2 thumbs up.

Rod,

Like the person above me has mentioned, before I even seen his post... it doesn't look mean enough.

It looks like the car is smiling at you.. which is never an aggressive stance to have >_<

But that's just me.
