Did a lot of shit today
 
Cleaned all the cars, and the bike, and the boat, and put a grille on the fit, black coated billet grille, and it was 90 degrees. I am spending 4/20 at the Lake. Cleaned up the boat and Soundproofed the engine bay with dynamat and undercoating spray, its super quiet now.

I have 24k miles on the fit and I guess its a common problem in the design that the grilles do not block any rocks from hitting the AC condenser. My AC condenser fin ribs are dented everywhere, but no leaks. So I put it on to prevent future damage, it came out pretty clean too.

and I had my Doggy help

Very useful grill! And it doesnt look like a crazy shield or anything :] How you got all that done in 90 degree weather is beyond me. I was indoors and complaining x]

The grille was 106 shipped from MrGrille. The material is super strong, like ridiculously strong. The AC condenser had a lot of fins damaged already for 10 months and 24k miles. The new one is so sturdy, and should hold up better. And it was 90 degrees out, and he's a black Pomimo, which is cold weather dog.

Wow, that looks really clean. I've been thinking about doing something similar.

Thanks for the heads up on the source for the grille Shaggs! Ima go and get one immediately. That is the first one I have seen that doesn't look ghetto as shit! It looks like it goes over top of the plastic, is this the case or did you have to pull the bumper?

Looks super good Dude!:) Did you order that from Mrgrille.com? I didn't see a link on their site for the fit

Its on ebay for 106 shipped, you have to ask them to get the black, otherwise it comes in silver or brushed aluminum look. The coating looks pretty good, very even. for $106 shipped from MrGrille, my only complaint is you can't use the factory front plate location. It is held on by ZIPTIES, but I used some super thick industrial ones instead of the lil ones they included. The upper grille was a lil more of a bitch, since the whole car snaps together like a worn LEGO. Also, you cannot quickly remove a fog light, you have to cut the grille off to change a fog light, or go UNDER the splash guard, because you can't get to the one screw that holds the shitty fog lights in place.

The grille looks nice with the plate off, and 4300k purple heads, 6000k LED parking lamps, and 3000k fogs. Looks very upscale and clean. I like stuff to be as simple and clean and function beats out all other motivation and then just clean looks. The 3000k high beam on my RR OWNZ all mods. With 6000k low beam HID with 3000k laminX high, people pull over from so far back. I went for a ride with my dad and sister on their motorcycles this weekend, they kept thinking I was a cop flying up behind them. Today I spent 4/20 at the lake, ran into a bunch of buddies, had to tow their boat home after they threw an alternator belt, but it was HELLA NICE at lake sonoma today, 90 with a light breeze.
