I would like something like this... I don't really like the big star... and that way looks pretty clean
That turned out pretty good. Some people have done something like that but I think without the chrome lining.

I Purchased CL Grill 1 from ebay

I couldn't wait any longer. So I just brought it from ebay. Hopefully it'll look good and worth the money. I'll try to post up pics once I install the grill to let everyone see how it'll look.

Grille quality question

I purchased this grille a while ago and i just fastened the emblem with zip ties.


This is how the emblem came, how am I supposed to fasten it with the included hardware?




sorry for the poor quality, thanks in advance.

CL Grill 1 in black

I also got one from ebay too. just installed it today. didnt get a chance to take some pics yet. i'll put it up probably tomorrow.

and to answer the question about how this CL grill 1 bolts onto the hood.

There are actually 4 bolt holes on top and 1 on each lower left and right side. So its pretty much the same as installing the original stock grill. The only part which is a pain was inserting the silver pieces onto each of the bolt holes. Without the silver pieces the bolts won't screw into the hood. AND the silver pieces tend to get loose, therefore bolts are loose and unable to tighten it.

I have one question. About installing the STAR emblem onto the CL grill 1. What is the proper way to install it? I can't seem to get it on tight, so my Star emblem moves.

Thanks

I voted to leave the stock grille and still think it looks best after seeing how the 3 slat CL-type grille looks installed.

I got this one for the Wifes Blown 230 last week.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...179320224&rd=1



Exact and perfect fitment and it took me and my Wife a total of 11 minutes to install it at night in the cold. Excellent product and the cheapest on Ebay. Against the Orion Blue it looks so slammin' Gave it a very exotic look and much smoother and cleaner, we also added the flat hood emblem too.
