What are people doing to modify their 2002 grilles? I always liked the 99-01 grill, plus plenty of options to modify it, but the 02 grill has that big lump from the bumper in the middle. Has anyone modified one of these? Pics? All I can think of is to remove the two "halves" of the grill and just have headlights and holes.

You can buy chrome grill instead of those black plastic.

you happen to know who sells these? The plastic just looks bad. Don't know if I would go chrome, but maybe a gunmetal or something.

edit: i found some on Google, surprise.
Any suggestions though, hit me.

They're usually on ebay, but I haven't seen them for a while.

Mesh?

Yeah I think it would look good if the fins were cut out and some black mesh was put in there.

wut i did was paint the grilles to match the car color and then inserted mesh grille in the back so u would be able to c it thru the openings but didnt cut the fins out and then also put mesh on the bottom part and it looked very clean, and u can choose the color, i went for all black and in person u did notice it , i think cutting out the fins looks ugly but thats juss me

I just bought some chrome trim from pep boys and cut the pieces to the length that I wanted. It's just to give you an idea. I've gotten a several compliments on it too.

i got the fogs at a local pepboys and they are halos that change colors but the only f'd up part was i went thru 2 pairs and the dam things kept fogging up and lil by lil the chrome inside started changin to lik a black but any 4" fog will fit, u might hav to add screws to the housing that holds the fog so it can holdstr8....as for the grille all u can do is cut out the fins in the two side grilles and add mesh but i think that looks ricey but hey everyone has different opinons, that y i went wit mesh in the bak of the openings if u look closly....if u try to cut that middle piece of the bumper off u will hit a piece of metal that is connected to the frame, which is located rite bhind that middle piece of the bumper, which can b cut off

as cutting out the middle piece and adding a jdm grille i dnt kno ho that would look, never seen it dun on that bumoer b4, it would be too off i think, if it was an 99-01 it would be alot better

Yeah alex those fogs look real nice!

Im liking that silver galant with the mesh behind the grill pieces. Mesh in front doesnt look too good to me. And yeah, I will probably just leave the fins in there.

I think its Titan who cut the fins and put mesh behind those grilles they look straight to me.
