I am looking for a billet grille for all 3 openings in the front? I saw some pics of the scion exposed and I noticed one thundercloud xb had them. Does anyone know where I can purchase them? Also does anyone know if I can get that style billet grille in all black? Thanks for the help.

first i would check with Cabe Toyota because they have it in polished and black for a better price but if they are not the ones that have it, B-Cool Billets has em in chrome, polished, and black but are expensive

I agree Cabe Toyota carry the real stuff, Crystal the VP of TSW has one on her xB and Ryan (Greenbean)"Mr. Trophy" has the hyper black on his...they are the best grills I've seen so far, real stuff, no fakies like on ebay.

Randode thanks for the link. You are definately THE MAN. I went on called them they had it in stock ordered it had it shipped all the way to the other coast and it was only 275.00 bucks. Why buy from a dealership? Go direct. Save all the money you can guys! Thanks again Randode your cold cathodes are next lemme get some more cash saved up and I'll be ordering them.

I heard they are a pain to install? Anyone got input on install difficulty?

02-28-2004, 01:35 AM
the only ones that are a pain to install are the cheapo e-bay ones DO NOT GET THESE. they look like total crap (no offense to anyone that has them). plus, when it rains, it lets all the rain in your engine compartment and everything gets waterspotted :?

richdog
02-28-2004, 01:44 AM
Thats 275 for all 3 grilles i had 20 bucks for shipping in there so I guess its 255 can you deal with that

they are not difficult, just time consuming since you have to pull the bumper off to get the lower ones mounted.

is the bumper difficult to remove?

randode

its not difficult, just awkward since its so big. Also, put some masking tape aroung the bumper near the corner of the headlights so you dont mess up the paint when you pull it off.

So is the b-cool job like $150 worth of better than the ebay thing?

My dealer sells two types of Billet grills. Both are 3 part.
One is cast metal and is $250 installed
The other is welded & polished and is $430 installed
Looking at them there is NO doubt about the difference
Hope this helps

if grilles were beer, the b-cool grille would be a pint of Guiness poured just right, and the e-bay grille would be a warm, 1/2 empy 40 ouncer of Schlitz Malt Liquor. :D

I just recieved these grills from ebay and they are terrible.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=8021734331&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS GUY
The grills are terrible

None of the holes line up and 2 werent even drilled and the auction says no drilling or
modifying needed...

They arent even flush with the headlights.

Here are some pics

eBay...try it...they have all three sections...but its the zip tie ones...i heard they look good...check it out...

Not all of them are ziptie ones....Got my grilles from ebay. The ebay seller name is "unclejacksbargins" . This guy is a class act. They are made by Stull Industries. Anyway, I asked him if they are blems or defects, he said that they are new in box, with hardware and instructions.... so, for $127 shipped, I bid, won, and paid.

I received the grilles today. They are awesome. Yes, I bought them from ebay. No, they aren't "ebay, twist tied, poor quality" grilles. The top replaces the stock grille and bolts into four factory openings using factory bolts. The bottoms attach to the stock grilles, using screws and wing nuts. So, look up "unclejacksbargins" on ebay, it's really a good deal, and refreshing to know that there are still some quality parts to be had on ebay at a good price.

He shipped the same day I payed, and I received them the next day (i'm only 50 mins away.) They were shipped by UPS, packed in a Stull box and padded very well.

Here's some pics.

They now have the ones that bolt on, and even cheaper than my zip tie grilles, which aren't too bad for the price.

DoWop - i visited your photo gallery - it looks like you have two different grills? One is tightly spaced - the other - loosly spaced. Just wondered what the difference was and if you had links to where you bought - or where you can buy - the tightly spaced one?

Thanks!

Funny, I had forgotten. I had tried taping every other grille bar on the upper grille to see if I liked it better that way. I didn't so I removed the black tape.
The top image is the taped one:

I have the toyo factory ones on mine. The top one is a solid piece of billet and prob weighs about 5 lbs. Its a full replacement, then the bottom 2 are wing-nutted through the stock grilles. I am very happy with these. See em at www.carmodycreations.com/scion.htm http://www.carmodycreations.com/images1/frontlow.jpg and http://www.carmodycreations.com/images1/brafront.jpg

Its the Colgan Carbin fiber look bra. www.colgancustom.com
See this page for side pics, www.carmodycreations.com/scion.htm

Wouldnt hit the road w/out it. Helps deflect rocks pretty well, and that a plus here in FL where everything is under construction.

Unfortunately if they dont list a brand name like Putco or Trenz then i wouldnt buy them, and 100 for all 2 grilles should let you know they are not the good ones.
