I'm looking into getting a chrome grill for my LS. I've narrowed it down to 2 makes (not like there are many). I'm leaning towards the T-Rex over the Trenz grill. My question is which of the 2 is of better quality? And, which fits better and looks cleaner, the overlay or insert?

Thanks!

mclaren is the way to go thats what i have but out of those two id go with the trenz

I considered the T-Rex grille, but keep in mind that the slats are each welded in by hand, so depending on who does the weld you may or may not get a quality grille. I do like the looks of it though.

And while the quality of the Trenz grille should be what you expect, it is one of those that everyone else has. If I were to go Trenz, I would get the unpolished aluminum.

Sadly, the grille I wanted by CDC is no longer made.

Other options?

A standard LSE grille, painted to your specs.
An Mclaren grille, painted to your specs. Go to Ken's website at LSKoncepts (http://www.lskoncepts.com/). Great work, great guy.

Ken may also have other grille options available. Rumor has it he might be working on a chrome-painted McLaren grille, as well as another style that I won't mention.. (He'll be mad I've said THIS much!)

Anyways- don't be afraid to try to make a shot a one yourself! Some good heavy-grade mesh is easy to get, not hard to cut. Just need a decent template and maybe some clear silicone- voila! Instant overlay! Very common, and looks great if you get a material you like. Not to mention the money you could save and the self-satisfaction of doing something yourself.

Or, you could just send Ken money!
