by **PhreakdOut** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 11:00 pm

For sale: MikeT Gen2 upper and lower grille set in black. Both are in great shape. Will post up pictures soon.

PM me your offer (I will add $15 for USPS Priority shipping.) I'd like to see these go to a good SolaraGuy (or SolaraGirl) who will take car of them.

Massive pics for close up inspection. :wink:

Are these the ones that are currently / were on your car? If I remember properly they had a few flakes or something, have they been touched up? Why are you selling?

I may consider...

Thanks,

James

You'll replace your grill by which one ??

1) Stock
2) Trenz
3) Gen 2.5 grill
4) Other

I don't know what to do...I wanna change it but I want a perfect fit.

There is no Gen 2.5 at my local Toyota dealership...I wonder if the grill will really fit. Lot a talks on the forum but no ones tried it.

^^^ thanks for the info bro !

No problem man, good luck with it if you decide to give it a try! It's a pretty tight grille overall, but I just couldn't feel that ridge running through the middle of it... it was annoying to me, and the more I looked at it, the more it just didn't look right for me on my ride. On other cars it may look pretty cool though.

Peace,

This upper was on my car for three days and the lower I hadn't mounted. The ones I had before were in bad shape so I threw them out. They were the chrome material painted black. So occasionally, it would flake off.

This set is made from precoated black material. I believe it's powder coated. I tried flexing the grille to see if it would crack and it didn't. Nice stuff.

I bought these just before the Elmhurst Show and only had time to mount the upper. After I got back from the show, I took them off and put the OE Gen2 grille back on.

I might as well let the cat out of the bag ... my Gen2 is no more. I opted against parting the thing to pieces and let it go as is back to the leasing company. (Along with some SolaraGuy info tucked into the glove compartment.) I removed my Enkei wheels (they are now on my RX8), the grille and the strut tower bar. (Which I sold offline to a fellow SG). The leasing company got a nice car with a RSB, TRD exhaust, Injen intake, TRD springs and a few other items. I hope the next owner will be happy with it like I was and will eventually find their way to SolaraGuy.

So support a "Solara-less" mod and buy some parts. LOL.

Here's the grille at the Elmhurst show.

I'll go take the pics of them now.

Man - you had a short lease!

I was wondering what the pics of the RX8 were all about - thought it might be the wifey's car or something.

Good luck to ya Brian - have fun with that RX8!

Pictures attached in the original post.

Thanks Jeff. The lease was not based on time but on miles. I reached the 60K and all good things come to an end. We'll see what the future has in store.

That's some expensive gutter guard. What's the plan going forward? Toyota-less? I was really hoping you'd be the one to follow my subtle HINT and get a Trenz grill and have it powdercoated black. That would be a hot look. Jon.
