Welcome to the Club Hope it is a good car.... (well and regularly maintained) and you will cherish the vehicle. They are starting to become "old ladies" but still have plenty to show
Sorry but the grill will not fit. Do a search on the forum using "avantgarde grille" should bring up plenty of info. No star in the grill please....!

Use the search function on this forum, there are plenty of threads that will answer your questions regarding grilles and exhausts. I am still on the hunt for the right exhaust

don't buy the cheap fleabay crap!
these knock off grilles will get whitish rustspots ala aluminium way on the chrome when the grille gets old!
You might save a buck buying knock off crap, better go for OEM stuff, it will cost more but it's worth it!

If you decide to go for aftermarket grille and experiance these white stains on the chrome strips, it will be difficult to remove them with polish!
I tried AUTOSOL chromepolish, stains won't come off!
I can either buy a new grille or paint it matte black for a cool and brutal looks!
Paint will get chipped off during long run of driving.

Buy OEM if you can afford it!

Thank you guys!! I looked at big star grill too long and kind of grew out of it, haha. I found Supersprint cat back for around 1k... but... just wondering if its gonna be worth the money. Is there any other exhaust you would recommend???

503C43 you are in the same boat as me! haha I'm thinking of just getting the Supersprint cat back and maybe the resonnator later.
Hey Kowalski! I think Remus is pretty well known for their quality as well, and they make exhaust for AC Schnitzer.
