Are there any alternatives? I hate that kinda flowery pattern within it. I think if it was all black or all chrome it would be a lot better. I guess I've finally gotten over the "where is the dang grille" thing. I'm starting to notice there are a whole of other cars that don't have them either. If there's no other options, I guess I could just get it chromed or powder coated.

Maybe you can take out the emblem and get a grill like the 94 ones does

You might give it some more time, it really does grow on you.

Well if it was only as simple as putting a girill on. Never mind the fact that you need the hood, but you also need the fenders and front bumper. Then the headlights and corner lights. Then you wont want to stop there. You are gonna want the rear taillight assembly. In other words no that many options.

Interesting thought though about the powder coat......hmmm

Sure, sell it to me and I'll turn it into a belt buckle.

Belt buckle, eh? Hmm..........Actually, I do have an extra black hood to play around with, but no ideas about what to do with it. Oh well, I'll probably just end up getting it sandblasted and completely rechromed.

What I am meaning is there are some Grill inserts that will be able to put in the emblem place. I am not saying to do a conversion to a Kouki it is way too expensive and not worth

Although the grill might not look as good as the 94-96 Qs, they are just an option to think about. Try search on Japan website they have those grills for 90-93 Qs

Thanks for the tip. Can you be more specific than "Japan website"? I'm not familiar with any. Thanks.

Sure, here are some examples





Some people might not like it since they stick out from the hood

How about some links to these sites. I wouldn't mind a subtle looking grill. It would be an excellent update.
