Cool Grille Insert...

Well, got my first exterior mod done last night.
PUTCO stainless steel grille inserts, or so I think... ebay...
the insert on the driver side isn't straight with the rest of the grille. Hoping the guy that sold em to me will work with me on this...

Hmm... not bad. The 'crooked' one definitely jumps out but, I'm sure that they'll take care of you... best of luck.

Definitely a nice reflection off of the bumper too! (see the green hose).

Looks good man! Do they sell a bumper (lower) insert too? If so, you definitley need to get it to complete the look.

I myself have the Carriage Works polished aluminum upper & lower billet grilles. Check out the pics below for how much of a difference the lower one makes:

i bought mine from an online store and it came too straight. the left grille was too straight when it was suppose to curve in towards the bottom. all i did was take it off bend it with my hands put it back on and whala. perfect. try and see if you can bend it. it shouldnt be that hard. other than that it looks good

Well, I think I'd have to break every weld to re-align anything... Then I know it would never be straight...
