Default grill mesh

My friend said he would fit my car with grill mesh but i was also looking at other grills, i would end up saving over like $100 but is it worth it. pics of ppl with both would be great!

Thanks Denny

I'm a fan of the real thing, but some of the Homedepot style grilles have turned out pretty well.... It's still visable close up what difference the quality is though... I'm still holding out for better grille options for the tC

Agreed! Who will make us some high quality grilles?

That looks great and i applaud you for making your own grille. However it looks like your getting paint chips from rocks and pebbles on the road.

Thats the only down side i can think of makin your own grille.

Still looks great nonetheless.

yeah it does have paint chips on it but i only did it to test fit it and everything. i will be repainting it a lot better when the weather gets a little nicer so it won't chip as much

Don't know, I think my grill is good quality.







I think the mesh is just subjective. I'm sure you can go and buy mesh of the same quality as a Grill Craft. But people also want low cost. I just don't fathom spending $100+ on a freakin grill.

I bought a mesh grill off EBay. Its aluminum. I need to paint it black before installing it. I can't wait to get rid of the big Scion logo off the front of my car. It looks so much cleaner without it
