hi, i want to know if theres any reason that i should not get different/custom grilles for my 03 honda accord coupe?
and, i've been searching the net and cant really find anything nice, i found a few made from like GrilleCraft like this one:



but i want something thicker, like this:


but unfortunately i cant find that for a COUPE. Can anyone help me here?
thanks in advance.

 

I had a grillcraft on my old Accord.

I only used it to make sure I didn't get rocks damaging my radiator. They definitely aren't for looks, you have to zip tie them on or something and it doesn't look right. Plus mine started rusting after a few years.

 

oh, i see. well, i still keep searching and i really cant find anything nice for the coupe, all i can find is for the 4dr. do you think that if i ask a shop they'd be able to get something like the mugen one for my accord coupe?
thanks.

 

anybody know?
and also would it prevent the rusting if i ask them to paint it for me?

 

I put a Grillcraft on my <u>track</u> car to keep the rocks off of a huge, expensive full length dissipater, but I do not understand why you'd want to do that on your street going Accord.

For whatever it's worth, the Grillcraft has been on for three years now and it has not rusted or had any other issues.

But still...not sure why you want this on a street car unless you're tailgating quarry trucks.

 

hey im just wondering how small the holes on the grillcraft grills are because im thinking of putting them over my fog lights as well to keep it from cracking, do u think that would be a good idea, i dont want the grille to block the light from the fog lights tho, what do u think?

thanks.

 

go with the type r style abs plastic kind. grill craft is over priced crap that belongs on truck lol

 

well i was planning on getting grills for the whole bottom part of the car so that rocks dont get in, buh im just concerned about whether or not the fog lights would be able to penetrate the grille well or not, or if it'll be okay

 

any one...?

You might get more responses in another forum where people have to worry 'bout rocks a lot, like the Road Race Forum.

IMHO, if you put Grillcraft over fog lamps, you're reducing the light too much.

This is just my opinion, but if you're rallying an Accord to the point that you are worrying about rocks, then maybe you need bigger lights that already come w/the rally grilles.

On the road courses, I broke so many fog lamps that I eventually just got rid of them and put the Grillcraft on to keep the stones (thrown by 300-plus-section tyres on Corvettes and Porsches) off of my expensive dissipater.

 

that mugen one at the top is an ebay grille badged with mugen.
