Question Grill suggestions, please..

I feel i've come to the point where the front grill on my '04 LA Touring looks like a patch of blank canvas on an unfinished painting. I'd appreciate it if some of you salty streetlight stalkers would post pics of grill mods you've done. thanks.

chrome grille strips, shouldnt cost anymore than 10 bucks and if done right will last and still look good. Ive had mine on for over a year and they still look good. check the body/exterior gallery and check out the pics of the custom grills. If the search is working look up chrome grill strips and there should be a how-to.

I have to agree. I don't really care for what's available, the only thing I do like are the strips. Get the molding and save your money for better mods.

Could try this from West Valley Nissan in Arizona. Requires cutting out the "patch of blank canvas" with a meticulous hand.

I taped off my bumber and painted the grill aluminum to match the door handles. I did the same thing with one set of splash guards and engine trim. I have a LS and the effect looks awesome.

thanks, all. i really like that courtesyparts grille that rbaggett posted, but i'll also check out the molding strips. sungnamZ's looks good, but my hand's not so meticulous, so i'm scared.

I just did the chrome door strips to my grill today. Took about 6 minutes and cost me eight dollars. Even my roommate who does not even care about cars thought it looked great. I say, go ahead and try that first. Lots of guys have done it and love it. Its cheap, non permanent and is more subtle than alot of the "lookit me!" grills that I have seen.
