Default Need Help on grille!

Ok I just installed my Lsportline kit. I love it, it is so awesome but heres the thing. The grille does nothing fo rme, it is just there. I understand that it matches the whole kit and there are no lines in the grille or the bumper which makes the two look complete. I just love the RMM grille but some have said it won't look right and it won't match. I greatly respect the opinions of these people but would like to see what CL thinks. Am I nuts????????

Yes!! .....its a matter of opinion but i think the l-sport bumper looks best with the l-sport grill or trd grill 2 give it that double open mouth look.....the l-tuned grill with this front looks pretty good but the others match up better imo...this is just an opinion....i don't think i've ever seen anyone put thr Rmm grill with teh l-sport bumper?

You found the thread huh? I know I know you would never change it but man it just bores me to death Oh well we will see what happens. What gave me the idea is eeing Dee's car with the L-tuned grille with the Lsportline bumper.

imho the trd, lsportline, and the tte are all too plain that's why i don't like it. the rmm and ltuned i am not a big fan of the one line feel plus you are right the rmm definitely has serious fitment issues.

honestly among all the body parts i think the grille is one very hard choice

Yah...the grill and the front lip is what eveyone see first....so first impression is very important.

I think Dennis-C is doing that...LTuned Grill and LSportline body kit.

I personally want something that not too many ppl have....which is why I have TTE and DSR grill to swap at my disposal.

I got the Ab Flug and the DSR grills myself right now. Both are in carbonfiber and both are sitting in my room. I haven't decided which way I should go with just yet. The DSR is really a set-it-and-forget-it grill being a full cf unit, which the Ab Flug needs to get its outer surround ring painted body color before you can install it.
