Grill

For the car!

No grill


or home depot grill


or black home depot grill
The original idea was to go with it in black but while test fitting it I just decided to leave it. Looks pretty good. Goes well with the fogs and lights.
Eventually when I get my eyelids on and the black fog light covers on I will definetly go with black but for the time being I might just leave it this way.

I drove around with no grill for a while looked really awsome from some angles but from others you could see all the crap behind there and it just looked worng. Maybe iff I paint everything black it would be ok. Maybe not.

Opinions? Comments? Sorry for the camra phone pics. If anyone wants Ill take good ones.

I say home depot grill looks good, except its too far back, if you could find some way to push it foward a little more, definatly do it. And where in Jersey are you?

why not paint/modify your stocker? The mesh stuff is WAY overplayed now.

I dont see why not, as long as your partial to bugs and road grime. It would get some trippy grill marks.

IT so overplayed that its new hotness again. I really havent seen anyone with a mesh grill in a while, furthermore disco's commin back!

I pushed it about an inch foward when I zip tied it into place. In the picture there is actually a gap on the bottom.

Noones recomending black!?!, everything would just be so black then. I might go make one black and change it to suit my mood.

I would say you paint the silver strip gloss black and clear coat it and then do what TitaniumMSP (david) did with his grill and paint pen it. Looked great. Total cost was like less than $10

Blah. 99-00 Grill looks like crap. Painted or not. I already tried it...the mesh looks ok, but after a while i decided it looks way too cheapy, but if you actually buy some of that grill material from APC(i know,rice ! but it works), paint that black and back set it it looks WAY aggressive !!...

What I decided to do with mine, when I finally get every thing done, is to get the mesh and paint it. But not just black... I'm going to try the new pearlescent spray paint kit that they have. My car is green (emerald mica) and the pearl spray will show green, purple and blue. >shrug< We'll see. It might look totally ghetto, but it might not
