Alright I'll post, since others are just looking at your topic, and doing crap, that's one reason i hate posting a new topic here. no one replies, there are many new post where people don't reply, there is no community here. ____es me off. Anyways grill craft makes some, check on yahoo or google, i'm sure you'll find something that suites you. Sorry if my reply is late, better late than never they say. POST REPLIES

tC COMMUNITY, SHOW IT THEN enthusiast.

I am sure that there are plenty of people on this forum that have the experience or the knowledge on how to make an Rs1 replica.... I like those because the big a$$ scion emblem is gone, yet it retains a simple, factory look. I hope someone starts making them, because toyota want over a $1000 for the rs1 grill.

I actually have the same problem as jjos1. There are plenty of grilles that I like, but I've yet to see the bottom grille that accounts for the OEM fogs. Boo...

man o man... never go cheap^... invest in your car like its your biznass, last time I got grilles for my 2k1 civic I got grille craft and I was never happier nor haveI gotten so many compliments. Basically what Im tryin to say if you are gonna do somethin do it right . I am not sure what your car color scheme is but get somethin nice cause it truly will payoff later when you realzie what you have invested in... not ebay chicken wire.

I know... I'm looking at the Grillcraft ones for my tC, but I might be getting the factory fog setup as well.

They'll probably bring one out for that too, though.

I absolutely agree with the above post--except, the stuff sold on eBay is not chicken wire.

It's drywall mesh, and can be found at your local Home Depot for $4.95 per 6x4 foot sheet.

A billet style for the center of the lower part would be nice, I would'nt want it to cover the lights though

Im pretty happy with the Grillcraft Grills. The top sorta sucks to mount, but other than that it looks great.

Heres a recent pic.. dont mind how dirty the car is!

those grillcraft are nice, and to anyone who would by cheapo stick on grills, buy a huge wing and cover the car in stickers while you're at it. I'm honestly ashamed by people who do that, represent your car culture properly. and those grillcraft aren't just stickons over the stock? i want actual replacement grills, like the RS1 those are nice and clean.

I brought the billet grill from mr grill on ebay. Fits like a glove. I haven't decided if I'm going to powercoat it black yet, only the front aspect is silver currently so it looks nice. IMHO it totally changes the way the front of the car looks. Way more aggressive. I'm very happy with it. Pix when/if it ever stops raining here in Jersey.

you can fit the grill craft grills over the fogs... i saw someone at vip event and he said it just takes some time and patience to get it on... i went with the stull industries billet grill and im painting it black when i comes in in the next few days... the grillcraft grills go over ur OEM grills and are more expensive. w.e floats ur boat i guess

It's good to know that the Grillecraft grills will fit over the fogs. I really wouldn't want to have them behind the mesh, though. How thick are the Grillecrafts? Or, rather, does anyone know what I'd need to cut through the mesh? If I were to get a Grillecraft, I'd like to somehow make cut-outs for the fogs. They come in handy too much where I drive.
