Lucky Bastard.

The 4 dr has a bolt-on but the hatch requires a whole new front-end.

You're right Loose; looks like you have to w/that particular grill, but check out part no. 541 GR for the 5dr. This one can be used w/the stock front bumper! I think I might like that one even better. $136 seems like a decent price too...anybody up for a group buy? (naughty)

... ... ... I'm up for a group buy. Someone organize one ASAP before I have to go buy this myself

what do you mean by new "front end"? so you need to get buy something else before you can install the grill on the hatchback? cause the grill is first thing i need to change and it is the thing i waste most about the 3s.

 

[Jay3]

I'm thinking of the erebuni grill as well, anyone have experience dealing with these guys and any notes about the grill quality?

Group Buy?

Good job Jake, I missed that. I might be up for this. We need to find out if they come painted or not. Now looking back the 5DR in the first pic has a grill that appears to work w/ the stock nose.

To answer your question...

...up to this point, YES. Although that appears to have changed. This is the first grill I have seen that works w/ the stock front bumper of the 5DR.

I know how you feel about the grill. I have been looking to replace the grill since I bought the car in March.

It looks like most of the stuff we'd need to know is on their site: it doesn't look like they come painted (damn!) and they're made of fiberglass, which is a plus I guess. Yeah, I've been looking to replace my grill for a while now too: the stock grill is the only thing about the car that I'd really like to change appearance-wise & I really don't wanna shell out appx. 300 bucks just for a Mazdaspeed or Mint-Blue one: after all, it's just a damn grill! Let's see if we can get anybody else interested in a possible group buy. I'll email Erebuni today & see what they can do for us.
