I've got a two-toned abyss and the grills look beautiful. The aluminum grills match the grey cladding.

I was wondering if the effect would still be the same if only the bottom ones had the grill? BTW Merzbow looks good

You just slap them on there and zip tie them to teh stock grills. There should be little metal squares welded on the back of the grills in which you wrap the zip ties around.I'll try to remember to take a picture when I get home today.

the best frill for the vibe is to color match the stock grill. then clear coat the hell out of it. makes the car look clean. a little more upscale then "custom"check out my pics.

Man, those looks awesome! A lot better than the purple job I did! I like that a lot! If I were you I MIGHT try to paint the support squares black so that just the grill would look chrome like that, but it definitely looks sharp and you might not want to risk messing them up.

sorry, not to hate or anything, but i retract my vote. it looks .... not good. for the guy who wanted to know how i did mine...i bought a engine aluminum spray paint can, a wheel clear coat spray can. all available from autozones and such. took the grills out, bathed them in hot water, when they were dry, i gave them about 6 coats of paint, then another 6-8 coats of clear coat. you must match your own vibe colors of course.

Second tough your right,when i will have free time i will remove,i will try to remove the scare or painted black.But it was difficult to me to install.I have big hand,was rough to inter my hand beside the stock grill to attach the strap.

i think that billet grills makes the vibe look like those west coast low riders. i really don't like low riders. specially the ones that have the full front grill. (bleh!!)

I HATE lowriders as well but I don't think his grills look like a lowrider grill. That's just me though.I think it looks beautiful of course. Like Damron said, maybe if you feel like it, try to pain the supports black to hide them You can KIND of see the supports on my bottom three piece just because they dont get as dirty as the rest of hte grill so theres little squares of shinier aluminum once the car gets dirty.
