Front Grill

Whats the best/cheapest way to get a grill like this? Got my car a year ago, I've grown tired of the girly chrome grill.

Search Ionic in the vendor section. I believe that is their CF lip kit plus Gialla grill. They are a great vendor with excellent quality products.

Assuming you don't have a black or carbon fiber theme going on, you should probably stick with a color matched grille.

This is your best bet:

The front lip is definitely not made by Ionic.

Yeah my bad had a brain fart there. It's a Seibon CF lip. The Ionic one is an extended (lower) OEM 03-05 lip.

My buddy bought the ionic grille and the mesh behind the grille that it comes with was like a screen in a window. Very cheesy IMO but thats just my 2 cents

No, it won't. What does material have to do with it flapping? It's all about how it's mounted. And I've had no troubles with the way Ionic mounts his mesh on his grilles.

Most, if not all, metal/wire meshes come bare (silver) and need to be painted (just looks stupid if it's left unpainted). Chips just waiting to happen. But not with the plastic mesh that Ionic supplies.

I've had my mesh grille installed for a while and zero problems.

But if you wanagofaster, then the Gialla style grille will allow MOAR air into your engine/intake for MOAR POWAH.

lulz.

This particular AB G35 looks terrible and would look 100% better with everything color matched. Only OB and the Silvers look decent going with the C/F hoods/lips and the Gialla grille always looks better painted regardless!
Sorry this is just my obsession with doing things right....as I see it!
