Hey from the GoldCoast (Tim_)

Yeah the black mesh looked too plain but maybe once the eyelids & front are on it will suit it abit better.

This is the ebay add for the grill, was alright for the price, needed to drill two holes into it and sand back where the bonnet catch goes.

Thanks mate, im loving how shes coming along. Although i have no aftermarket grills to compare this to, ill give it my best shot.

Fit : No holes drilled, and no room for bonnet catch, had to drill holes and cut/sand the area for the bonnet catch. Once the drill holes are drilled and it is installed it sits perfectly in the middle (this is assuming you drilled the two holes evenly in the right spot). There is the slightest gap between the bottom of the grill and the front bar (maybe 3-5mm)

Quality: Cheap...but look at the price tag...you get what you pay for...in saying that if you can put in abit of work it will come up great. I think its made from fiberglass and wrapped in CF wrap.
I have now sprayed the grill and mesh black to get rid of the carbon fiber look. (see updated pics)
Now i need to find a decent subtle badge to put on it (im really liking the zerosport one...but its not a zerosport grill :S)
Hope this helps

Hey mate,
Yeah they came painted black, they are a great fit however i had trouble getting it to stick to the headlight
Tips for ultrex eyelids:
- Use heat gun, mould to headlight
- Use alcohol wipes to clean headlight and back of eyelid
- Tape eyelids down
- Do not drive for 24 hour (takes 24 hours for supplied double sided tape to bond)
Hope this helps

thanks time for the quick response.
oh ive been thinking i only need double sided tape and to stick it on the headlight
guess i was wrong lool

[Tim_]

The double sided tape is all you need and it comes with the eyelids.
You can substitute heat gun with a hair dryer, this is to loosen the fiberglass so you can reshape it to suit the shape of the headlight.
Also the Alcohol wipes are to ensure the serface is clean (if the serface is dirty the tape wont stick as well.)
The tape over the top of the eyelid is just to keep it in the shape of the headlight while the doublesided tape sets.
