I just aquired a 2005 BSP xB that is macked out. Leather/Suede interior, 19" Axis Mod Sevens, etc, etc,etc. Just pimped. I love this car. But anyway..I decided to look up the grill as it is badged with Strut. Has anyone seen these on an xB? or where they were purchased from? I will try to post some pictures soon but just wondering if anyone knew about these grills.


Links to site. Pictures are kinda big, but i wanted to get nice shots

Funny to see a Strut grill on an xB. Let me first say, I am not one of the people that believes the hype about Strut. It is just another grill.

Here is their website though...

http://www.strutwear.com

No listing for an xB.

Chances are someone either bought a Strut grill for something else and then made a stainless steel surround, or bought mesh themselves and made the grill. The Strut logos or insignias are available separately.

Even if the grill were available for the xB. I doubt very many people would be willing to pay their ridiculous inflated prices.

 

I definatly agree on the prices. I saw those and was just stunned. The only thing I could think of is the previous owner cut a real one or something. If not, this would have to be a custom job from them as they dont make it for the xB.
I am really confused now. The previous owner owns a very high end audio shop( as seen on...errr...cant say) and he might have had it done. I guess I will have to ask him about it.

Thank you very much.

 

In my opinion thats like buying nike shoes when you can buy $10 ones that do the same thing.

 

I really like that grill though! Wish I could get one.

 

ya im doubting thats the real deal looks like the badge was just put on, but i could be wrong

I thought that grill looked familair i cant tell if its the same cause they dont have an up close pick but it looks just like a rebadged E&G classic grills

 

Yeah I think that's what it is.

 

Lol that strut website is pretty ritzy, not to get off topic just think the website is funny i feel like i was shopping for grills in a ver fine and ritzy store where people walk around serving free chapagne and caviar lol. Other then that the grill no matter what it is on your xB dont look too bad.

You are right though. It does look VERY much like the E&G. Oh well...looks tight though

 

Update!
It is a E&G classic grill.
No matter. I still love it :D

it does look good and it does look like something like an actual strut grill, is that a real strut badge on it?

 

Yes. That is the only real Strut item on it.
