Default I need a Front grill

BECAUSE, im a moron, So i took the old "Scion" logo off the front Grill, sanded it down, and painted it black to make it blend more. I thought the old Silver logo stood out to much, and looked like cheese. SOOO after a few weeks, all the bnlack paint chipped off and the glue i used to put it back on melted off and dripped down the mesh grill. SO im looking on ebay, for a plain black one with no logo, anf they are VERY Cheap, some of them are like 40bucks..

What do u guys think of this one?

its 40bucks?

Ehhh that one is diamond pattern and the stock is honeycomb... it will work, but it wont match your bottom grill.

ask and you shall receive, I got the 4 piece gloss black powder coated set. The end result is the exact look of the RS1.0 without the cost

They sit out much further than the RS1 grill, or any Scion grill for that matter. If they made a flat, recessed grill, i'd be all over that. But the way it sticks out... a no-go for me.

Diff strokes for diff folks then... I personally like the Fig fig style a lot better than the flat grilles... makes it looks more professional to me... but that's to me

actually you can adjust where they sit out very easily, so they do match the RS1,0

yeah with the fig grilles you can decide how far you want it to sit out or not sit out when you're installing it. plus even if it is sticking out a little bit the rounded border flows nice with the front anyway so it doesnt look bad

I would say that you need to rob the jewelry store and tell them to make you a grill
