Just got done. Took about 20 mins and I think it looks great. I was able to mount the grill without the factory grill behind it. I painted the foam behind the bumper black and everything silver. It looks really good. Sorry for the dirty car, im too lazy to wash it right now.

So, how did you do it?

 

did you put that grillcraft emblem on or can you leave it off?

 

why did u paint the foam black? its not supposed to be visible thru the grill

 

where did u get it and howd ya do it?

 

Does Grillcraft make a lower grille?

 

lookin good

 

kwc5811: I completely removed the factory grill, but instead of removing the entire bumper like Grillcraft reccomends i sorta "karate Chopped" around the edges of the grill with my hand. It came right off. for the mounting on the bottom of the grill i followed what grillcraft says, on the top I had a hard time, there are clips that hold the factory grill in, the new grill rests firm on those, so i actually used a zip-tie (GHETTO but hardly visable) on the top mounting holes on the new grill to the bumper. It ended up holding everything very "taught".


motozen: It comes on the grille out of the box. it can easily be removed. Im thinking of putting my tC emblem in place of it.


DuMa: the top of the foam was visable in the center. You can see what i mean from one of the pics on my site.


shuttlegoosecock: I got it from www.namotorsports.net for $109.98. Its on sale right now for that price. Its normally about $150


JasonH: Yes, go to www.namotorsports.net to buy and see pics. Im going to get the bottom but instaed of doing it in an overlay fashion im going to buy a universal peice from www.grillcraft.com and make my own. Im just going to cut out the honeycomb and weld in some tabs and bolt it right in.

DTRUONG_112: THANKS!!! haha

 

grill looks good, but also saw some of your other installs, nice work.

 

could you take pics of your 'ghetto' top install? I think you did a lovely job... good work! Now I might get one.... unless other complanies out there are working on them too

 

looks very clean and nice... i like the little Grillecraft logo in the corner of the grill too. way better than shelling out $800+ for an RS1 grill!!!

 

Totally - that grill looks second place to the RS1 grill, but for the huge difference, it looks great! I just wish someone would build an aftermarket grill that had stock mounting points that worked correctly - you shouldn't have to zip tie stuff, you know?

 

i installed my grillcraft upper grill today also. i used the stock grill frame, but i cut the honeycomb material out of the stock grill so it doesn't show. looks beautiful. i'm getting my lower grills on thursday. :D

 

This is the best pic i have with the ziptie. there is one on each side. ill try to snap a better pic tomorrow in the light

all in all, i love the grill. Once i park it in a lot i keep doing the "double and Triple takes".

 

smash: Yeah, once i saw the price on the RS1 grill i was like forget it. Ill mine my own metal before i get that one! I like the logo as well, thats why its still there. my original intent was to put my tC logo there since i took it off the hatch on day 1.

iowagary: Agreed. little embarrased about the ziptie. so shhhh, haha

05_scion_tc: NICE, i was going nuts all day because i knew that it was on my doorstep at my house. When i got home i didnt even go in, just went to the front door, got my grill and went to town. Dont they look sweet? I cant wait to see your lower, its gonna look killer! i need to order the bulk so i can get my lower done (factory fog lights). I wanna see your pics too.

 

harmonic, most definitely do a picture walk through on the removal/replacement of the lower grill... I am very curious on how it is going to turn out

 

Thank you.
