front mesh looks

Just wondering the options for the front grill. I have seen mesh and havent seen any that doesnt have a chicken wire look ( didnt see it on the car).
Does anyone have idea pics of the options? I have seen some of the grill inserts painted gray but cant find them on a car or where to buy them if they are even available.


Is this the only option for looks?

I have this one (Rennline) in black. I think it looks good. Installation was no fun, but pretty straightforward.

I have Zunsports, they attach in-front. Makes the inlets look larger and made of quality materials.

Not a fan of these grills. Although effective, I find it cheapens the look of the car from the front end.

To each his own, I like them and I didn't have to remove the bumper, however if I put the Gt3 Smile vent and take off the bumper , I'll do the grilles from RENNLINE.

The Zunsport will take rocks flung at it on the LIE (we have many gravel trucks on the LIE)

I like the look, although with black-on-black and being so low to the ground, it's not like they are really conspicuous.

It took me a long time to clean the debris out of my radiators, on a 27K mile car that presumably had been cleaned before. Leaves, cigarette butts, gum wrappers, etc. Obviously radiators become less effective when fins are blocked or mangled. So that clued me into the functional benefit of these.

Not everyone likes these, but I do. To each his own. I also did a DIY article here and on renntech if interested....They have held up great for years!

Good luck.
