Billet grills I cant believe it!!!!!

I was looking for a used grill to make a custom one for my car, and I came across these, not sue if I like them but I cant believe someone is making stuff for our fox cars.

I should really photochop those onto my car. They look cool, but I'd have to be sure before laying out that cash.

P.S. Repost!

ok, I do not reccomend this grille if you do not have experience with fiberglass(i do and still sucked). this thing couldn't of fit worse. After I cut and removed the material to install it their tabs mounted to air.... so I had to glass new sides to the grille to make this fit, this is just rattle can for looks), also it does not follow the correct curvature of the grille but all in all it don't look half bad. What do you guys think?

1st off, I love the color of your car. It looks very vivid! 2nd, did you happen to take any pictures during fitment/glass-in? I may try the vertical version, although I didn't have much fun fitting my hood!

I like it, but i think it would look even better if you painted the color of your car to give it that "Factory" look.
