looking to get a 4 piece billet grille...the two bumper pieces and the two "fog light" holes. where is the best place to look for these and who makes the best one for the money?

I want a replacement grille, not the cheap one that just goes on top of the stock honeycomb.

they dont make ones that completely replace them. You would have to get it custom made. Cylon_xD and I have the inserts and they dont look that bad. You dont even notice the OEM grille behind it.

just ordered my 4-piece billet grille. should be here in a week or so. fits over the factory grille, but with it being all black it shouldn't be too noticeable. found a real good deal on all 4 pieces to. the grille, and the 3 bumper pieces. gonna really cap off my front end since i just recently tinted my headlights.

pics coming when i have it installed.

cool beans! Ya, I love mine. I got my set for about $60 on some ebay bid. You wont even notice the factory grille behind it.

yea, i found a sweet deal online. $69, so it was only like $75 delivered to the house. im pretty pumped bout getting it on there. im hoping everything fits and goes on good.

Matt, are the two larger grille pieces the same size? cause i know the bottom bumper slot is larger than the upper grille part. i just wanted to be sure all the gaps would be covered. i guess i can send it back if it doesn't look or fit right.

Next, step for front end is some HIDs. think i might have a hookup on those as well. it's coming along piece by piece!!

Yes, all the spots will be filled, but be very careful when putting them on. Take your time on lining them up because they may look the same size and shape they are different enough to not fit just right. Patience is key when getting these on. The upper grille is very easy to pick out cause that one is the biggest one. I dont know how to fit the side grilles in because I ordered trd fog lights that go in those spots in replace of the grille.

Its not chrome, its brushed/pollished aluminum. So you may be able to have it powder coated.

lol well if you have the money to blow, you could try and scuff them and paint them with spray. If you have anymore of your custom spray left from your interior you can spray it on there. That would be cool.

im hoping my grille comes in today. and i've been looking online and noticed that some of the grilles i've seen for the bumper don't completely cover the entire hole in the bumper. the center section i mean. let's hope i picked the right one. i will get pics up when i have the grille on. its gonna look sweet since i've tinted my headlights. oh yea, also just added a billet rear view mirror!!
