MarcusDubya77 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I had it, solved it by lodging some basil wood blocks in the bumper gap, worked well, even caused the bumper to eventually form do the shape even when the wood came out..now no gap... :woowoo:check out the Diamond Gray Metallic Monster!!!

PGT Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 anything designed for a JDM bumper is going to have issues. the key is to round the corners with a dremel. my JDM grille fits 95% by doing this.....a slight bit of gap which is noticable except up close and if you're anal.

panamajack Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Thanks Keefe. I see not gap either. That is good news. Where did you order from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Keefe' date=' have you noticed any performance gain or just looks?[/quote'] not so much, but I do notice my filter is dirty.. remember, I got this grille when I only had 3,000 miles on my car, so I can barely do a comparison in performance.. nevertheless, it's functional, that's all that matters to me. If anything on the long trips, I do get about 25 to 27 mpg on the trip meter using 225/45/17 tires.. so you can take that however you like.

Silverstar Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xenonk2828/GT-Car/4a.jpg not that I know of. In the top left picture you can see a large gap near the hood. You might want to stuff a rag or something in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
