Just make your own...its not that hard and maybe 20 bucks in materials comkpared to the close to 100 dollar mark grillcraft will charge...thats what I did and it looks just as good.

I don't just want to put some mesh over top. I want a new grill and I was wondering if that is what you did. I've seen some of the overtop ones and it's not for me.

chdesign February-13th-2002 08:25 PM

NO mine is a complete replacement

MP3-Owner February-13th-2002 08:41 PM

Pics please :D

BTW...This is the response I got from GrillCraft...

Hi Don,



Unfortunately we do not make a grill for your vehicle and I'm sorry to say that we probably won't be able to get to your vehicle this year. We're still a small company and having a hard time keeping up with all the late model Trucks and SUV’s. I will make a note in my database and as we take on new projects will keep your vehicle in mind. We have had a few requests for your vehicle so it’s something we may consider doing in the future.



Thanks for your interest,



Carl

We need a pic of that custom grill chdesign! I want to make me one but what did you use? I would love to what you came up with. Please :)

Damn....the stock grill is tiiite, why do you want to make it look like a civic bodykit or something??? the grillcraft grills look like shit anyways, save your money for more appealing mods, like an autoexe front lip or i dunno....it's your money, i made a grillcraft type grill for my civic (cause the actual grillcraft are booty IMHO), I used aluminum mesh, cut it out myself, looked nice, but man, after a year of driving on it, the color faded, looked like shit, I painted it, then from rock chips it looked even shittier....the mesh grill on the MP5 is really nice, alot of people I know wish they could get that on their bmw's, subie's, etc.....but if you dare to be different, do whatcha like....just my $.02!

Ok, what kinda of pillar guage pod is that? What car is it made for because it looks like it fits nicley. The grill is ok, I did that with my MP3 grill but I liked the stock one better so I put it back in but nice looking work. :bt:

Here is a pic of my Custom jobby... http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/mp3owner/...c=ph%26.view=t

Here is something else I tried that looked ghettofabulous... http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/mp3owner/...c=ph%26.view=t

Thanks...the pillar pod is from a Miata...all you have to do is heat it slightly with a heat gun and form it to your pillar. There is one gap in it at the top that isn't very noticable but it bugs the crap out of me. As far as the grill....I like mine better than stock but I have a different stock front end than you also...The large chrome piece on my stock grill was too much "family car' for me.

Craig - there is a proper A-pillar gauge pod now available for the Pro's - check out www.protege5online - I'm almost positive Mitch has them already.
