if you're talking about the aluminum billet grill, i think its ok. that style belongs more on trucks. if you like it, thats all that matters

 

[chicana28]

no not a billet grill it's a mesh but aluminum.... u know how protege 5 already have a stock mesh its the same thing except its silver aluminum....

 

[Reffoxel]

Aluminum version of stock grill? hmm sounds interesting. Can you post a pic or an URL for where you bought it?

Actually, I dont' really like it.

Is that grill from atgrills.com? A lot of people have complained how bad the quality of the mesh is since it starts to rust nasty as hell eventually. Your better off getting a dgmotorsports cf or fiberglass grille.

 

[chicana28]

no its not from them i just found a picture which is similar but a fiberglass grill is sooooooooo f@#king expensive.... i'd wish that money would really grow on trees

 

[Reffoxel]

Was hoping it was a aluminum reproduction of the original grill.

Say NO to chicken wire!

Intercoolers are the only aluminum I want showing on my front end

 

[chicana28]

dude its not chicken wire...

Had the same kit, took it off three weeks later rusted like hell! Make sure you paint it first even if you paint it the same aluminum color. Problem with that setup is it always looks better in pictures. Sorry but you'll probably be saving up for the fiberglass like the rest of us.

 

[chicana28]

actually i dont need to save up... one of my girlies work with plastics and fiberglass so she can make anything in fiber glass i just have to ask her what but i like that aluminum grill and its summer so it shouldnt rust if the weather is good

 

[zoomzoomn]

cool, hook us all up with a group buy! As for rust you shouldnt have a prob, I live in washington and have a hard time just keeping the moss off! LOL

 

[chicana28]

where did u buy ur grill?

 

[zoomzoomn]

I got mine from protege5 online.
