C-mod Grille. Oh my goodness

[shinkirux]

So, after pulling the bolts and metal plate out, I shove my hands through the opening and end up having to oil the old bolts that held the billet grille in place b/c it rusted. THEN i had to use all the girly force that all 105 pounds of me had to unscrew the nuts from the bolds. When I FINALLY got all of it out- after 5 scrapes, dirty broken finger nails and one soiled white shirt plus a few spots of soot on my face, it took me 40 minutes just for that and snaping the c-mod grille in took all but 3 seconds. Really, i didn't have to push it in hard AT ALL. I put the bottom in first, mabe that's why. THEN i realized that I didnt paint the middle part and now I can see the damn red thing even in the dark. but it still looks a lot better than the billet grille. I just bought the Fujita short ram so when I get that put in with the help of B-more coupe..=D!!! I will post that too yay!



after I finally fished the billet grille out.



finally put it in!

complete!! except I can so totally see the red middle part. Damnit why didnt I paint it!!! arg.

Woot! Looks great!

Looks soooooooo much better Julie. I lol when I receive a text that says "I almost died putting in the C Mod grille"

good work, any girl who is willing to put herself in bodily harms way to install car parts, is A+ in my book.

LOOKs Great Shinkirux! good job!

Questions i thought there was a spacing issue with the c-mod grillie doesn't seem to look like you have that issue

i was kinda against the wall i wanted to get it but i didn't really want to have that spacing issue since i got a radiant silver A/C and it would stand out alot

but it looks great

looking good.... you should paint the bar in the middle black and spray your radiator black so it sort of blends in..... heres a pic of my car that i sprayed the radiator... i have the stillen front fascia but with no bars in the grill so its similar

this is by far the sickest looking front end i have seen on a coupe...badass!!!

[bembol]

^ Much better!

Sorry, OP. That support bar looks so dry. Either cut it or stick with OEM or go with Stillen kit.

I always wear gloves when I work on my car now but I still always manage to cut myself.

[DiamondWVU]

[razah9]

Looks good!

Here's mine

[Hussain]

thanks! i just need to smoke my head lights and i'm going to be done with my front.... ive seen some other coupes and sedans with the stillen front fascia and the radiator shines straight through and when i look at their cars, thats all i see. with the radiator black it makes it look a lot better in my opinion.

This may be a stupid question, but is that the c-mod grill on your car Hussain, or is that a different type of grill? ...Also, approximately how much did you pay to have the stillen bumper painted? ...I'm new to this forum and have only done performance upgrades to my coupe...no body work yet

he has a stillen fascia with the bars cut out and replaced with mesh-.

Thanks bro. Btw...I've seen your car pics and your mod list, very nice work! ...I had one question, the next thing I am going to do is to lower the car. I was simply going to do the Eibach Pro Kit and call it a day. But my friend starting talking about how coilovers are so much better because they won't break/decrease the lifetime of the stock struts...

With that being said, I saw that you did the bc racing coilovers. In your opinion, are they that much better than getting the eibach pro kit? ...but more importantly, are they worth the $700-800 more in costs???

Thanks for the help...
