i personally think grillcraft is a lil cleaner but youd have to get all 5 pieces. Fogs, lower grill, upper grills

Does anyone know if you can put the fog light grille over the fog lights? That would be a huge selling point for me because it would keep everything looking uniform while keeping the fog lights installed

Yeah its hard to tell some pics look awesome with a blacked out look & then others look worst then stock where everything behind it can be seen ... I think ppl just spray paint the parts showing bc that's what the instructions advise you do with this grill

there is a right way and a wrong way to mount the mesh grill if you ask me...
point it upwards and you can see inside, point it downwards and it hides whats behind pretty well...
there is a groove in the mesh that causes this...
these pictures just make it look like holes, and small holes too...

MY preferense is a mesh grill with slightly bigger grooved openings

I have been thinking about a grille lately and an eBay one at that. I found a FIG brand that I would paint gloss black. It comes with all 5 pieces for only $115. Its not ugly per sey. but the time I paint it flat or gloss black it wont be too noticeable.
I notice that the GrillCraft is a little flatter at does not bulge out. But that 5 Piece set is $250.

Ebay Source:

The instructions look great, and the product looks legit.
Tax money is on its way. But GF will be ____ed. Who cares.

Any more opinions on the grilles? I'm not in the position to spend $250 just on Grilles.

I think he was just agreeing with my statement about them being black. As if he thinks the billet color may be too tacky on some cars.

I want more testimonials. Maybe I dont even need a grille. I'm sure they accumulate alot of bugs, but they dont seem that hard to clean and care for.
And you never have to polish them like you do with a real billet grille.
