No buyer's remorse here. The frameless look good too but I'm hoping mine will
match up with the curve of the hood better at the top row. Pics when I get them in.
Shouldn't be long.

Oh... and the dude totally gets it.

the cp-e intake is pricey as well, but from it's specs/perfomance and testimonials it also is unmatched.


I know I'd like to see how they look and what your thoughts of them are after the install. I'm not really into modifying my car, but these I could see on my car. They look like something that will hold up and goddamn they look sexy! :D

They are sturdier than the stock for sure. (Ramming speed Mr. Christian)
I'll get them in this week but I want a sunny day for pics. Need the sun gleeming off the grilles.
Since we have the same ride (less two years) you'll get a good idea.

How about pics "before" install of the grilles?

I gave her the grilles for her b-day today (2 yrs since I drove her off the lot). Took her out to the lakefront for a photo shoot. I'll post tomorrow. Grilles were easy to install and surprisingly slick in design. The lower uses those black plastic covers that pull off of the four skegs. No hardware at all. Upper uses the stock two bolts and the plastic dealie. Took about 15 minutes because those plastic covers are a bitch to get off. I'm going to have to devise a tool or that grille will be stuck there for life.

I put all the pics into a Tutorial/Review in the Tuts section.
Trenz Grilles

Pardon the plate holder screws and the nose muck. For the black/red owners this is a silver car nasty dirty. (our one big bragging point for our color)

We get it, you don't like the price! So don't buy them and stop e-bitching. When I want your financial advice I'll b... oh wait... I'll just look at your other post saying the same thing.

kidding... but really, get over it, I can afford it.
