SLP lower grille, is it worth the $70?
 
i really want to get it, but $70 for a little plastic mold? :wtf:
as some of u may remember i painted my lower grille to resemble an SLP insert. well its been a while and this is what it looks like now because of no clear being sprayed over it lol :o:thumbsdown:

anyone have one they want to get rid of? ummmm MITCH?? i have paypal ready:thumbsup: ;)

Don't have anything to add, but lol @ whambulance

I got 1 and I think it was totally worth it man it makes it a little thicker 2 and I think it looks better. I like that beefer look and like you I have a white Monte so the black paint just wont hold up against rocks . This is made of black moulded pastic. I shot mine high gloss black and then cleared it now if a rock hits it it does not show at all and if and when I ever need to repaint it I can just pull it off and re shoot it off the car slap on some new double sided tap and put it back on .

i miss it sometimes :o:p lol

Blazed SS 11-02-2011 11:12 AM

LOL !! I look at those pics from last year and see all that I have done to this point and I cant believe the difference !! The biggest thing for me is that it looked so plain and almost sterile when I first got it. I loved the lines of the car but it was missing something . Now when I look at MY car I see something unequally mine and it only cost me a small fortune to do it but it is like a 1 of a kind brand new car LOL Paint ,Motor ,trans,exhaust interior,EXT ECT.
