Default White tCs with FIG grilles

I wanted to get the FIG grille for my white tC but after purchasing another type of grille I hated how you could see everything behind the grille. Is there any way to prevent this? Can you guys post pictures of what your tC looks like with the fig grille on from the front or let me know how you can avoid being able to see everything? thanks

So that is exactly the same as the FIG grille. FIG was there first and "johnny" just copied.

ok but i'm not just asking about the grille i asked also about how you can make sure you don't see everything on the other side of the grille...considering this site has been around for years its inevitable posts will be repeated in some way. i've tried looking and HAVE seen that posting but never saw anything about hiding the white bars you see behind the grilles sometimes...you don't have to be rude

yeah but when u sign up to the site one of the clear rules is to SEARCH and keep from making posts that have been discussed about. and yes things have been repeated but have also been LOCKED/DELETED. u buy grilles and the other side will be seen

What I did was paint the white hood latch part that you can see through the grills flat black.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-05...ht_4089wt_1167

cheapest price ive seen, i bought mine from this seller @ $59 shipped before the price was raised to $69 shipped. still not a bad price for the real deal. it doesnt say "vrd" but its the same exact one they sell at a cheaper price. all snap in, no drilling or zip ties!

All you have to do to hide all the things behind the grill, is paint them black... I hated it too.
