don't know the name of that grill either... and anyone who has/had it doesn't know. Even the few areas that sold it don't have a name for it.

Knocked out the chrome trunk bar today. There is a diy for 01-03 I have a 06 so it's the same for all years.

Hey Mike, did you buy the chrome trunk bar? I've heard that the stock one is painted over chrome. Simply put paint stripper on it and voila, chrome appears. Is that what you did?

Yup $7.99 at pep boys for dupont paint stripper... used the whole can. Took about 30 minutes super easy diy mod.

I personally prefer the OEM which just shows a narrow strip of chrome. Just my opinion, as I think it's rather difficult to improve the original design.

Funk it... I'm tired of the oem look so this **** is going down.

I'm going the Tein street flex and the EDFC module and also getting this grill painted oem paint code. For those I've talked to I know I know I gave in and yes you were right.

I can't chime in but I cancelled my order lol forgot about the post. I cancelled the grill, coilovers, and module.... Fabulous grill pending on what just arrived in the current shipment. Worst case scenario I've secured a near new Fabulous grill.
