Custom car grills

[TyphoonFiST]

I have written and spoken to custom car grills and am in the works for measurements for the Lower grill for the intercooler to offer those who would like a little more protection! There isn't a whole lot out there for us.....it would be nice to have a multitude of options! I'll keep you all updated as it progresses!

Have you decided against the Zunsport grill? Seems nice but I can't find any reviews.

I had to diy mine from $5 eBay expanded metal. It worked but would be nice to have better options.

I want options....something closer to the OEM style grille layout. The zune sport looks good but I'm going for something else.

What about the main (big) grill? That's the one I wanna change since I don't use a lower grill at all.

how bout grilless?

Grill-less of course looks the best imo, but not having protection I think is a bad idea. I was thinking to add a screen behind the oem actually.

The condenser and radiator on all of my higher mileage vehicles are looking pretty bad. Not that I've had any cooling issues, but that's not a bad idea actually.

I damaged one HOT radiator by concentrating a cold car wash nozzle jet spray on a single point of he radiator. This exceeded the metal's thermal gradient, resulting with "invisible" cracks.

I did this to mine. Body shop removed the black plastic backing off my grill.

Coincidentally, I ordered some material from customcargrills.com in the past few weeks.

I "upgraded" my MAP intercooler to the CPE (which I have always wanted but didn't want to pay $800 for, got it on sale from Panda!) and knew I might have to trim around the lower grill area of the bumper so I figured I'd make a new lower grill while I was at it.

My first attempt was with some aluminum honeycomb material but wasn't happy with the look or fit using the suggested rubber trim around it.

Then I decided to go with ABS honeycomb material instead and forego the rubber trim. It will be attached to the vertical support slats with safety wire. Here's the grill, trimmed to fit and ready for install tomorrow.

Glad to see you spearheading this, I just decided to make my own. Just funny how we had the same idea and we're resourcing the same company, lol.

Here's a lower grill I made from material you can purchase from CustomCarGrills.com. Just an example of 1 of the materials they offer which is ABS honeycomb.

There's a large rectangular pimple on the left side of the front facia.

I know, I wish our state didn't require front plates. Some people leave them off anyway but mines a daily driver so I'd rather not deal with the hassle of possibly getting ticket for it.

I'm merely joking. Looks nice. I am curious, why is it shifted to the left? I can see the original mounting holes in the center. Was it mounted low enough to block the intercooler grill?

Can't speak for your area, but I leave mine off as a matter of protest. Like tinted windows, they only ticket certain people for that non-sense. Got three in the span of one year and like 4/10 vehicles I see around here, still don't have one. F*em. Got pulled over for tags at the top of the plate and that isn't even illegal. Even though they've murdered people for less and got off I ain't scared of'em. There's no excuse for that. Go fight some real crime. They put on their underwear the same way we do. There's a recent proposal here to eliminate the front plate. If this were brought up and passed a few years earlier, at least one individual might still be alive.

I gotcha, no worries. I have a Pierce Motorsports tow bar on that side and a Rho-Plate license plate mount. I track my car and drive in winter so it's nice to have a tow point just in case. Plus it gives me the option to remove the plate easily.

The grill is In the works for a Prototype with Matt @ Customcargrills. This will give us more options to choose from then just one that's able to be bought complete and just install and your ready to roll! Super stoked!
