Carriage Works Polished Aluminum Grille installed (pics)

Nothing ground-breaking or too exciting, but it is my first "real" mod and I am pretty pleased with the results!

Took about 1.5 hours to install (with a small trip to Home Depot in the middle have you). The supplied screws were not long enough for the middle pieces to clear the new grille, my stock grille, and the piece to hold them together with room for the nut, so I had to run and get some longer ones.

Overall, very easy install, and I am pleased with the way it looks. More pictures are in my gallery.





Now I just need the matching bumper grille!

Looks good! You're right, the lower grill will be a great idea.

Yea, just minutes after the car wash - I did not dry it that well. Guilty as charged.

Required by law in Ohio... Stupid law, but law nonetheless.
