I just picked up a 2008 Red ISF. The car is in great shape like new and bone stock except the previous owner put a chrome grill on the front. Need suggestions for going either back to stock or finding a better aftermarket grill. Maybe I'll plastidip it for now till I figure something out any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for some ideas

For the radiator grille you can purchase a new one. The brake duct grille (ones closes to the fogs) should be able to be removed, because it was a gapping hole before.

As for your lower grille, I'm not sure if that grille was part of the bumper. If it was I assume the previous owner cut it out which would mean you'd need a new front bumper. Or is that chrome mesh in front of the original grille?

Wow.... I am not a fan of that at all. You could go back to stock for sure. I would recommend pulling off the lower one and going back to stock. The two in the brake air dams I would get rid of and the main grille there are a few after market ones on eBay.

Also the lower grille is removable. It's a separate part from the bumper. I know this because I just had to get my bumper replaced.

I am taking the mesh off by the fogs ASAP. The previous owner looks like he cut out the orignal grille and replaced it with the chrome mesh(its not in front the original grille). I keep looking on ebay and seem only to find grills for 250, 350 look alikes. I"ll keep looking thanks for the quick respone.

Thanks for that diagram.. I will call tomorrow and get the lower and see the price of the stock main grill. I m thinking the stock main part is best

Interesting look, especially the upper grille. I'd look into getting the OEM grille both top and bottom. Not feeling this look all that much- maybe if it was black chrome to not be so over the top in comparison to the current look.

damn the previous owner put chicken wire all over that poor F. I would just buy all the oem pieces man.

Or you can look into a C-Mod front grill in CF or Black and go OEM with the rest of pieces.
