Impul had one, but I think it is ghastly looking, and does not function.

From what has been discussed here at times, it appeara there is no easy way to "just swap" the grilled Q body panels on to the front of a non-grilled Q. There are some aftermarket kits to gove the look, but most (even the expensive ones) look very "added-on".

I think this is the added on oneCompared to "normal"

The add on fake grille is God-awful looking. It looks exactly like what it is: a cheap plastic bolt on piece.

What is the yen price? I didn't see "guriru" in Katakana anywhere on there, although I see the pic of the G50 w/ the grille.

BTW, typing in ALL CAPS IS VERY ANNOYING TO READ.

I don't think anyone on NICO has ever bought one, so I'm not sure anyone can tell you.

There are a few places online that can give you some visability to the JDM land offerings. I (at times) surf auctions.yahoo.co.jp with keys words like - Q45, G50, HG50, Impul, etc.

Some others have mentioned "rinka", but I have no knowledge of that site/service.

Yeah the stick on grille looks gay... if you want to have a grill on your 9093 Q you should just bolt a front end from a 94 on, the only way to make it look good.....

or, then again, just buy a 94. :p

If they have the same mounting points, which Greg says they do not.

Why preparation triumphs over impulse.
