Would Ricer Mesh instead of Roundnose Grille look ok? (Read notes in first post before voting)

It is all right value considering the mesh itself cost $29.99 at supercheap. As I said that doesn't fit as well as it did since I changed the moustache but you could do what ever you want to it as yours would be a more permenant thing.

I wasn't too worried about how it would look because it was only in there about a week - I didn't want to spend anymore time on it than what I did for a temporary solution.

Lillie, if you are going to the Mini Muster you can have it - I'm not gonna use it again and it's only taking up space. I have multiple other 7 slat grilles (very beat up though - better then nothing) in the garage that I could use if I ever take the current one out.

Don't.

Must be pretty cheap


There's a reason why. Have you skimped on anything else in your engine bay? Why start now?

Lillee wrote:
and it would work (allows air into the engine)


Not having a Grille "would work" also...

it would probably look better than a boofed up grille.


No. No no...

Why don't you try an old school 850 grille?

A white one maybe.... white grilles look cool on red cars...
