inven vs. ionic gialla

I was just wondering what the differences were between these two? Is one made of fiberglass or something? How is the fitment of either? Which one is better? Thanks.

go with the ionic.

the ionic is made of fiberglass.

the inven is made of poly.

for the purposes of a grille, it really does not matter.

the inven is going to have a gap, as well. just buy a new ionic grille. i've only seen a couple ionic grilles with big gaps. for the most part, they fit really well. i'd be willing to call it the best fitting replica gialla grille available.

okay thanks a lot O RLY. do you guys like the look of the mt. fuji symbol inside the gialla or just leave it plain? I have the non sport bumper and am thinking about putting on a lip as well. my car is BS and I think the fuji looks good. Will it be possible to attach it even though there isn't the support bar in the middle of the grill on the replicas?

The link below is the best deal today if the grille is still available; already painted BS.

You are going to need the mount fuji emblem they put on the trunk of the car. The one on the stock grille won't work.

^^ i understood that much, but as beebo said, it wont look right? do others agree? i've seen pictures of other members and I think it looks good, especially since I don't have a very aggressive body kit or front bumper, I just have the stock bumper.

I wouldn't say it doesnt look right, but IMO it definatly looks better without the emblem in the middle. I've got the 350gt badge on the side of mine though.

i dont really like skyline or 350gt or anything like that, since im not really going for the JDM or nissan look. I just think the fuji makes it look less like a big opening since the rest of the exterior is stock, so it doesn't stand out as much

well thats really just my opinion... if you think it looks good than go for it... i believe people use zipties to hold the emblem on the mesh

No zip ties just a lil dab of epoxy on each side of the emblem has worked great for me.
