Mad props to Grillcraft for their excellent customer service and getting the grille out to me so fast. I also had a slight problem with the lower grille and they were more than happy to send me a replacement lower grille as well, as you can see in the pic!!

How much did the top and bottom grills cost?

Don't forget to post pics!

Hmmm, the upper grill must sit as far forward as the lower one.

The upper grill kinda looks like mine, but I've got black edging around it. That'll look great on the car!

Not too bad at all eh? ;)

No worries man, we all got different opinions. Good thing too or we'd all be driving the same colour cars! :) I am going a complete blue/white theme which I love. I've got 18" Racing Hart Evo Z5000 in white on order right now as well.

Nope no cutting whatsoever it fits into the space perfectly. You simply need to drill one hole to mount the grille.

How much $ (or hours) for the install?

I bought a slightly different grill from mail-order and asked a local body shop for an estimate. Even though they've never installed one before, they estimated 2 hours labor. Does that seem too high?

I wouldn't pay anyone to do this because they are so easy to install yourself. This isn't like installing new springs. :)

don't have the body shop install it do it yourself. i dont know what kind of grill you bought but i installed mine that i bought from nextcelica.net by myself and it took me like 30 mins. the shop will rip you off man. just my 2 cents

I think it is $69.00 or something like that, it is posted on their website I know that.

I love it. Funny I saw this post tonight since I was wondering how a white grille would look on spectra blue. As I can now see, it looks great, thanks for the information.

That's a great color scheme to go with. The white wheels will definately look great with thouse grills.
