Got to say, I wasn't too impressed by pictures, it looked nice but I was skeptical of fit and finish.

I decide what the heck since they are on sale anyway and I couldn't stand the stock ones so....

In person they are very nice and my wife loves it over OEM. I think, until something better comes out, the lower and upper grillcraft grills are much better then stock or the RS 1.0 ones. No kidding.

Pictures definitely don't do them justice. Taking pictures give off some wierd flash reflection that isn't there.They are not shinny. I was hoping they weren't because that was one of the things I didn't like about them. They don't reflect thank God because I thought I was going to hate them if they did.....

I think the grills are very sporty and stealthy. From 10+feet away you can't see anything from behind them and looks just like blacked out grills.

These are way better then stock or some home made grillgutterguard (hehe I tried and it looked bad to me. very flimsy). The grillcrafts are very sturdy, thick metal with thick coating, and doesn't bend or budge at all.

I like how the grillcrafts match now the outer smaller grills in pattern. Much better then the honeycomb stock ones. I don't think it is necessary to get the 2 outer smaller grills because the OEM ones match so well now.

Install was pretty smooth and I decided to stick with the OEM screws that are black then to use the ones that came with the upper and lower grill... Grillcraft might want to consider this.... Save some money and material?

If you have a SW tC you might want to do what I did and paint black the long part that latches the hood otherwise you can see it behind the grill. It looks horrible because it is white and really big right in the middle behind the grill..

kudos to namotorsports and their awesome customer service!

looks good. now put an intercooler on the inner side of that lower grill and you'll be set. ;)

 

I wish. That is what I thought.

 

very nice on a white tC
a good looking grill overall
how much did it set you back if you dont mind me asking

 

nice thing man, good job

 

does it rub the paint at all? I guess I think metal over plastic and body/bumper flex and I see my paint getting scraped off..otherwise I love the look

 

$249.96 shipped. Excellent service and time from http://www.namotorsports.net. I'd recommend.

 

It fits snug as a bug with how you mount it. It ain't going anywhere

and no scratching because the grills are coated pretty well that it won't scratch your paint. All in all a pretty nice fit and finish for something that is 600 dollars less expensive then the rs 1.0 ones. With the savings I can put it towards that AEM CAI if it ever comes out... but probably more realistically towards my SC install this fall.

 

$250 for a grill is crazy in my books

but you pay for what you get = 1 sexy grill

 

the one on the site looks like it goes over the stock grill... does it?

and the one on the site looks like it has lettering on the bottom right of both grills... and yours doesnt...

 

it doesn't need the stock grill to mount. It mounts very sturdy with clips that it comes with and I made a hole in the upper and lower to make sure it is extra secure.

You can debadge the grills. Just pop off the logos on both of them. The whole point in having a clean grill is to not have any crap on them hehe..

 

i agree

 

silver or black silver or black :/

 

haha, looks awesome. See its hard to explain to all those that are sckeptical. It looks really nice in person. pics dont turn out very well.

looks sweet!!

 

very nice. i was waiting to see them on a SW tC. good stuff.

 

My biggest thing was having to keep the stock top grill on behind this one. Was it a hard install? Time? Did you take off your front bumper? And did it come black?
Sorry for all the questions, just really thinking of getting it.

 

You don't need to follow the original plan to mount it ontop of the OEM grill. I was like you and thought that was ____. They now have it so you don't have to do that.

It took me about an hour just because I painted the hatch latch black to make sure it looked good with the grill. Otherwise on our SW cars it looks bad with it not painted. If you get the grills you will know what I mean.


These grills come black or silver. I am sure you could paint the silver ones if you want to any color

 

thank you sir. i wanted to know what it would be like on a SW. now i know. and might be ordering soon

 

LMFAO at your sig lol!

 

Patrick iv been watching your tC "grow" for a while now
