VR4 Grill

[00GalantMan]

Will this fit the 2000 ES with or without the gap in the headlights I read about on another thread? I don't wanna bother with it if there's going to be a gap, or the gap isn't too bad. Any one know

You will have the gap unless you buy the heads also

- Special designed to fit the US specification Galant

That's what the seller writen in the description, but dunno. Someone told me if there is a gap, it will be 1.5 finger size gap. so...

af200sx/se-r is selling this i think, and check out the second grill. I think it's the same one in ebay, but it's come in silver and it's JDM.

[00GalantMan]

what headlights do i need to get? the JDM w/ the black housing?

[lonestar22]

any JDM light should work. btw are those 06 eclipse wheels on your car or are they photoshopped?

[00GalantMan]

yeah, they were photoshopped. They are on the car now, I just haven't had the time to get the new pics off my camera. It looks a whole lot better than what I had on there.

if it was specifically designed to fit USDM cars all I can say is that it's probably a modified grill from a US car. A lot of people have done this mod.

ya. it sounds like hes just selling a usdm grill with the middle cut out and mesh put in place.

[00GalantMan]

So it's safe to say, no photo of the actual product, I should stay away?

Do NOT get this! It's just a modified USDM grille. But the thing is, all the mounting posts have been removed. Look at the pics closely. If you get it, you won't be able to mount it.

I think that's what the little metal clips were for, prolly fit with Zip Ties...but you can do this yourself to your USDM grille for less than $20.

All you need is time, tools, a little skill and patience.

SkylineG1, that's what i want my grill to look like. Do you mind tell me briefly how to do that? =P Just curious, the USDM grill won't fit if we put in JDM Head light right?

Well you'll have to cut out the chrome plastic gills that are on the grill. I used a dremel tool I bought from Harbor Freight ( makes the job quick https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif ) and then after that I just sanded the grill to get that chrome covering off and then just painted it. But watch out that you don't paint over the diamond star emblem. Also go to your local Home Depot and get some mesh, cut it to fit from the back of the grill and then glue it in. I used liquid nails to hold it in but I'm doing it over come spring time.

Cool, thx a lot

[bluediamonds]

I have the VRG grill on mine with USDM heads, I will post up some pics so that you can see what kind of gaps there are and how I mounted it.

[bluediamonds]

Here is an idea what kind of gaps you would get if you get a jdm grill....
