so long story short. my front grill was wrecked due to one of the trucks tow hooks in the back. it basically went through like a spear and now my coupe has her teeth loose. . i need some suggestions. i had the stillen front lip on. i would show pics but i'm currently at work at the moment.

i was looking at the stillen front fascia to see if i should just replace the front overall or fix the grill and the scractes and dents. whew good thing it didn't hit the radiator. hahaa. it was close though. in regards to the stillen fascia, where can we attach the normal fog lights? or would we have to get aftermarket. any help would be appreciated.

thanks nico fam!

they are supposedly releasing a black mesh grill on ebay soon. I am waiting to see what that looks like. i hope the tow truck company or whatever is paying for the repairs. u can pick up a replacement stock grill for real cheap on ebay since nobody really wants them lol. good luck.

The whole fascia of course

Looking at that picture, the grill isnt the only damage. The actually bumper is all scraped up so replacing the grill and getting the bumper touched up would probably outweigh the cost of the Stillen piece.

thanks for your opinion. im gonna go with the stillen fascia...now that comes to my next question about the fog lights. where would that go or would they take it all out in general and i would have to get some aftermarket foglights?

That is pretty jacked of you to make your friend pay for the whole fascia when just the grille is messed up...You turned a $100 Stock Grille + $200 in painting into a $600 for Fascia and $300 Painting...

Anyway, there is no spot for the OEM Fogs, so don't both trying to fit them. You would be BEST to sell them on Ebay (snag about $150 easily) and then use that money to buy a set of aftermarket's with HID bulbs. You would need to fab either one to fit your car, you might as well not fab the more expensive option!
