Default help with front grille

ok so I want to do my front grille with no scion badge in front. i have a flimsy one there for now but i want it to match my bottom one. I have the fog lights in the bottom so the top needs to have the same honey combs as the bottom. any ideas of what to do, and where to buy from??

snap it off lol. if you look behind them, they are held on by tabs that just need to be popped off with a flathead screwdriver

if you want ones that snap right into place like the oem does you need to buy expensive ones, if you go cheap, you will have to do some customizing to make them fit "you get what you pay for" keep that in mind, but remember, anything you buy that is not stock you will prob have to adjust it somehow a little bit

i got a figg one from ebay, they have both upper and lower and both with/without fogs, around $100.

i took the bumper off to do mine, gotta drill a few holes and zip tie it up, looks great and seriously 10 minutes to take the bumper off, there are like 8 10mm bolts ;)

Yea sure. for the headlights i got a MobileHID 6k kit and for the fogs they're the stock yellow bulbs. Not the stock stock ones but the ones that come with the yellow package.

My lower grill sorta snaps in, top part snaps in, bottem part sort of snaps in but the zip ties keep it in the right place.
