Hey guys! I did the "do it yourself" mesh grille w/ the directions from the "How to" section on here. I was just wondering what you guys think looks better, putting the grille behind the black support bars, or in front of them? The pics of both styles are listed on my other car page found here:

Take a look when you can & let me know which you like better...thanks >>

I think it looks better in front of the bars. Car looks good either way >>

I did both of these a while back and decided that I didnt like either one, so now I just have the stock grille and am looking around for a body kit. I liked it better behind the support bars, but I think it would look better if there were no bars there at all like some bumpers have.

Where'd u get that mesh BTW it looks better than what i used.

I like it behind amy. I tried to put mine in front also, but decided on putting it behind the bars.

If you can try to get the corners of that mesh a lil cleaner. Looks a lil weird with it bugging on the corner like that? IMO >>

Amy did you spray it with a paint or anything? I used the home depot mesh also, but used a paint on it. Tends to "rust" up on ya if you leave it plain after awhile in the elements. Especially in snowy/salty states.

hehe...yea CelicaQT ill have to trim that S.O.B. up a bit, I think was more worried about makin it fit. Plus I figure if anyone is looking THAT close....its I ran them over lol!

I havent sprayed anything on it....its galvanized steal so I shouldnt have a problem w/ rust...that stuff isnt suppose to rust! But...I guess it wouldnt hurt to spray it anyway >>

i like it in front better personally, behind makes it looklike your car is smiling or has braces or sumthing

amysmojo

#11

Lol braces.....thats funny, I have another style of diamond mesh it has bigger holes & its more flexible, the one I have in there wont bend for anybody lol

hey NYcelica, if I sprayed it black to match what would you think of that? I need something there, I dont like having that big gap for things to get inside...I pulled a paper bag out of there the other day! lol >>

in front... and i believe i heard a while back you can cut the bars out... they dont add any structural integredy...

my 2 cents..... get a body kit, and a 3sgte, throw a fatty front mount and have a bling bling smile in the front >>
