Default 1st Gen. Grill Mods

I'm not ready to dish out 200-300 bucks for an aftermarket grill...Do you guys know of any mods that can be done??

This guy is selling the 3M adhesive grill kit, but after searching on this forum about it, I'm getting some mixed reviews.

It's not worth it. Just save up for the grill you want, or refinish your existing grill with a can of spray paint.

I was actually thinking of getting my friend (who owns a paint shop) to spray the grill the same beige color as the top half of my car. Has anyone tried this?? I don't want it to cheapen down the classy look of the car.

just spray paint it using black arcylic paint.. I've seen it done, and it looks great. Makes the car look brand new

I have those E-Bay grill kits. Not worth the money. Better save up for real billet grill or paint it.
