I was standing downhill from my car the other day noticed that my front grill is missing. Anyone got any ideas about were i should get one? which one i should get? etc? Seems dangerous driving around without it, oil coolers intercools all that exposed. I even though i smelled coolant the other day hope i just spilled some and do not have a leak in the system aready from a stone or something. Is there something i could stuff in there for the meantime?

I do not remeber it missing before wounder if someone would have taken it? (probably just never looked at her from that angle before) Do not have a garage for my FairladyZ yet.

ps it is a 1991 JDM TT if that make any diff

If you have the stock front, it doesn't really have a front grill. This is what the front should look like (assuming I am understanding your post correctly):

really? are you sure? seems like a big open hole for stones to bash my cooling stuff. The roads kindof suck in Alberta lots of salt and gravel right now.

Yes I'm sure

If you're really concerned you can probably fabricate something for in there but its not really necessary

There isn't supposed to be anything there. Your bumper is the exact same as mine, except you have the slits on each side for the intercoolers. I have never heard of anybody having problems with debris, there is nothing to worry about.

Ill give u a head start

"fab" something, I have mesh on my kit. It does catch a fair amount of stuff, you can tell after awhile from wear on it. Ultra easy solution, looks nice too (mine is silver) or you can stealth it by doing it in black
