Mesh Grille

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: FloridaLS

Does anyone know if there is a mesh grille made for our cars? I know they have the universal ones out there, but I am looking for one made especially for the LS.

i don't know of any grilles other than those that are anything related to what you are talking about..

Ive never seen one, Ive seen the chrome ones, with the vertical lines, and theres the LSE ones and Mclarens thats it. I might of left one out, but Ive never seen a mesh grill for our cars

The one I was refering to is a smaller "chicken wire" look. Like the second one.

LSKoncepts.com was trying to have one made a while back, I'm pretty sure it was unsuccessful. CDC used to make them and went out of business(correct me if I'm wrong).

That is just my luck...nothing I want or do can ever be simple!!! How about this then...Is there a way to install the universal one with out seing the zip ties? That is how the ones I have seen have been installed. If there is a better way of installing it I might give it a try.

I did the universal mesh route, but I used six bolts instead of the zipties. People on here have said they are distracting, but I personally think think they are more easy on the eyes than the zipties.

I did a search for 'grill' and found this thread - > http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/sho...ighlight=grill

Thanks for the help. I got some good ideas now. I like the horizontal grille also that looks pretty sharp with the upper and lower ones installed.

I got fired from my job, but if I get hired on at my interview tomorrow, I'll definitely get at you. $50 doesn't really seem like a lot, but I'm a college student and I don't like the idea of making car improvements without a steady income source to replenish my funds first.

CDC (Classic Design Concepts) didn't go out of business, they just stopped making parts for the LS.
