Grille sizes for 94-98?

[Dukeplaya31]

I finally got my T-bar from the shitty Mitsu dealership service and I take off my hood bar, install the t bar and notice that the grilles are too damn big...
AHHHHH, I wish my custom fiberglass peice was DONE...!!!

Anyway, does anyone know if the oem grilles between the headlights and t bar on a 94-96 are a different size from the 97-98???? Craig you should know this since you did the conversion...

Please someone help me out...I finally want to get this shit done so I can get my car ready for saturday.

Thanks.

do you have to put a grill in? i think it would look better if you just left out the grill...kinda like the 8gs and put some grill mesh in there

post that one pic of your car with the kit that shows your grill and ill photoshop that little knob on the bumper out and put in some grill mesh

The grilles are much different.

The 94-96 are flat black, have less louvers, are inlaid into the front, and curve out:

The 97 & 98, as I'm sure you know, in 97, were painted the same color as tha car, and in 98, were black w/crome accent, had more louvers, were flush w/ the front, and curved out:

Hey Maz or anyone. Are the 97 and 98 grilles the same exact size??? Right??? Cause i want to get a 98 grille for my 97. I like the chrome look.

[Mazarin]

But it looks so.... empty. Some mesh that's the same color as the car might work though or a billet grill would be different.

The gaps where the headlights meet the bumper is bad enough.

Nice PS job though Seth, that photo looks like it was taken with a fish-eye lens LOL

What I just thought of today, was getting an 8G grill, and hack that up to fit. Cut the bars/louvers, then cut everything to fit, fiberglass together and smooth. Then paint. Hell, I could do it if I could get ahold of an 8G grill, and an erebuni front...

Shouldn't be too hard...

[g96nt]

I like the gap.... looks almost muscle-car-esque

you shoudl Do it joe....

great contrast For the Color you have!


anyways.. teh 97/98 grilles Are the same

we put them both in my car... I chose the '98's

I like the contrast up front

heh.. lookit this:

91Tsi block
94 hood
95 eclipse GSX head
96 galant
97 nose
98 grilles

I have the most mutant G Ever!
