Sorry, I just couldn't wait to post.....

My billet grille is supposed to arrive on Monday, October 18th.....I"ll post pics here once it's installed.

[10/20/04 update]--I added pics below....keep reading

 

I'm a sucker for billet grilles. Congrats!

 

I snagged mine off of ebay from grills4u like a lot of the other members have done.

 

Did you get the bolt-over or cutout grill? If you got the bolt-over, I would suggest not using the screws and stuff they give you. Mine rusted up pretty quick so I switched to some black zipties I had laying around. They gave a much tighter fit and you can't even see them, even up pretty close.

 

I got the cut-out version. I didn't want to still see the factory grill back in behind.

Thanks for the hardware advice.

 

what brand?...... some of them I shitty quality... My Stull was supposed to be top notch... but come to think of it, the black paint on the top of the bar started peeling off the other day.

 

Whatever brand that grilles4u sells on ebay. I've read a lot of good reports on these particular grilles here on the board, so I am pretty confident that the quality is good. I'll post pics after the install and provide a little feedback on the quality.

KOKOMO, IN, US----OUT FOR DELIVERY

Can you tell I'm excited The grille is on it's way to my house right now. Luckily, I'm on vacation this week!

 

12:20 a.m.--The grille has arrived! Now if it would only stop raining!

 

I installed my grille today. I'd say I probably used about 75% of the directions....the rest I improvised myself. It took me exactly 2 1/2 hours to install it. You definitely need patience for this modification. I'm very pleased with the results though...

Here are the before and after shots...
