Yeah man, I was really excited about that.

As far as making it clean goes, I shaved mine with an air saw and dremmel. The problem is, on the sides of the opening, when you cut the grill out, it leaves a funky zig zag design. I got sick of that and the grooves on the bottom and had a body shop paint the inside of the grill and make the sides solid instead of zig zagged and smooth the bottom.

 

What do you mean by zig zag? From the saw teeth? I will mor than likely sut it close with the dremel then sand it smooth by hand so I don't mess anything up.

 

I need to smooth it out some more, I used a razor to smooth them down. It still needs some work. I think I'm going to sand them down and re-paint the plastic.

 

Hopefully you have some kind of FI with an intercooler.

 

I don't like this at all. I think it looks cheap. At lease replace it with a different grille.

 

looks like an FI only type mod

 

or a interfooler...

 

anyone ever just paint the grill and front lip black? was thinking about this too since i don't think i can get away with a lip where i live (driveway too steep)

 

I did better. Had the intercooler painted black, behind the OEM bumper grille and Stillen grille painted black. Wanted my intercooler hidden.

 

looks good...but not what I had in mind. I meant a non-black car, and I almost posted that too...lol. Was curious about a lighter color car (LS, SS, or even DB) with only the center grilll and lip painted black.

 

looks good, that's my plan for Friday when I get back from Houston. Mine's an 03 and I am just getting around to it, lol.

 

anyone without a intercooler? i just REALLY hate the stock grill
