gen1 front grill

That's my front end, with Steve Chung's TWS grill. (don't mind the gap underneath, it used to fit flush, but after I crashed 2 years ago, the bumper the body shop put on didn't line up just right. The grill however, was not damaged in any way.) Now If I could find a competent shop to maybe tweak the alignment of the bumper, I'd be in business...

i'd prefer without, with a smal "Trd' emblem in the bottom right corner, kinda like the lexus IS grille insert, thats hot. and that can be carbon fiber wrapped.

i like that grille above but it looks kinda like an accord..i think w/out the bar in the center is the way to go

my project is going slower than expected also but still going..another month or so hopefully..

Yeah, without the middle bar looks good. With the TRD emblem to the side or the Toyota symbol in the middle would look good too!

ok the oem grill is a bit soft and the company is worry about the fitment (taiwan dont have solara). So i am going to get a Steve Chung's grill. my question is

how is the fitment? Does it fits and line up nicely?

As long as it fits right, we can discuss about looks later (with or without the bar).

actually about the look, i had a idea in mind. I am going to ask them if they can make the center bar removable (so you can put it up if you feel like).

Also it could come with color as a group buy deal. the renova auto had good relationship with PJ Bonifacio Paint & Autobody

here is a fine example from PJ and you can find more of their feature cars on the internet.

but once again, it just MY IDEA...it might work, it might not work. stay tuned

I'm with you. Since I took all the emblums off I've gotten lots of questions of what car it is. I'd like grill with no emblums too.
