New Grille Screens

[Triton]

After engine1 got his grille screens, I inquired with Cloud-Rider.com about some of the products they had. They have an excellent customer service department that was willing to send me a promotional set of these grilles to show off on our website and the Michigan Meet. They have several styles available. I am going to be getting a price list very soon and I will post it as soon as I receive it. I went with the stainless steel silver instead of the black powder coat that engine1 went with. I have a couple of pics for now that I took yesterday evening and I will take some later today with it being so sunny outside. They are extremely well made and I think the round holes look very nice with the front of the car.Pic 1:

[JustinVGT]

Looks good. Do you have a pic from a bit further away, showing the entire car, kinda like your signature pic?

[Triton]

I will have a pic like that later today. It was almost dusk last night when I took those pics. I will definitely have more to show.

NICE! I got my grill inserts from Cloud Rider the other day, the same as you got there. I ordered them last month and they finally came in. I put them on my car and they look good also. No pics yet though.

[Triton]

I was pretty fortunate. I ordered them Tuesday 04/06 and they came yesterday. 04/08. I am highly considering getting the winter screens for the winter time. Keep all the salt and garbage out from underneath my hood. Here are some more pics I just took.Pic 3:

No offence intended but those grills look like a 1950s vegetable steamer.

[engine1]

Those look really cool! Great choice!

[Mavrik]

I like them, obviously cause I bought them. Last few pics look good

[AKLGT]

sorry guys, but not a fan. love everything else, just not that. looks too bling bling to me.

[Mavrik]

LOL how can something that cost less then $100... for me anyway be to bling bling? Don't know about you all but $100 isn't bling to me. But I guess Hope maybe we should all put wal-mart runway lights in our Vibes right? hehe yeah BLING BLING!!!

[ArcsVibe]

I like them how much did they cost again?

[Mavrik]

Mine were $120 CAD list but through my dealership I saved a few dollors since we buy all our grill accessories through them for all the trucks and such.

[ArcsVibe]

Hmmmm maybe I can order it through you Phil? LOL

[AKLGT]

hey! you messing w/ the $6 walmart specials????? actually, i plan to paint the billet grills chrome too... but just don't like how they look on the car... not quite sure why... just don't care for them.

[Mavrik]

Well you can if you like Sam but it takes us longer to get them then if your order direct and get them delivered... But its up to you. I still need a CAI...And yes I am messing with the walmart bling heh.

Aaron, I've always thought you have one of the sharpest detailed Vibes on the forum, but the grills may be a little much. Just my opinion. I photoshopped the attached pic and blacked out the top grills and left the bottoms alone. I had a chunk of ice fall off of a concrete truck this winter and hit one of my lower grills and knocked a small chunk out of it. Maybe I could order just the lower grills, or sell the top ones at the MI meet if I get a set.

it looks really good, i would like to get the soild black ones.

[Keely]

I have to say, I'm probably the most anti cosmetic-mod person on these forums, but I really like those grills. It's evokes a bit of an 80's mood, but the silver keep it 21st century. (Can you tell I read a lot of interior design magazines? ) Triton, I've actually been going back to your cardomain page a few times to take additional looks at your interior mods and it's got me thinking that maybe not all cosmetic changes are a bad thing.

[Triton]

Thanks for the compliments Mike. I am still unsure whether or not I am going to keep them on. I too am thinking they may be a little too much. If I don't keep them, I am going to either sell them or put them in a raffle at the Michigan Meet. I am also considering getting them match painted Neptune. I'm not really sure yet though.

[AKLGT]

triton, you know i LOVE your vibe, but the grills just don't seem to match w/ the rest of it imho. the chrome just don't go w/ the wheels or anything else. maybe that's why i don't like them on yours. i cant really put a finger on it.

Aww...she loves my Vibe! I know what you mean Hope. I just don't know what it is. I'm not sure there is anything I can do with my grilles that would be better than the stock ones. I thought about the billet grilles on Ebay, but I don't know if I would like those either.

[Vibe]

I personally have to go with the factory grills --------but can you bring the new ones to the meet so we can see them "In Person".Sometimes pictures distort the real thing.......Vibe

[GlenW]

How are the Grilles attached?

[Triton]

They attach with screws and brackets behind the stock grilles. Nothing permanent and no holes to drill.

Everyone who knows me already knows I have a Vibe GT and everyone already calls me Triton (without the GT) so I decided to have it changed. It's still just as unique as it was before.

[Triton]

Well after some consideration, I have decided that the grilles just don't go with my car. They are very nice, but they are too bright for my theme. I will probably be selling them for shipping cost only through the site in the For Sale/Wanted forum. I will post a thread tomorrow with pictures and a price. IM me if you are interested in them.

[Keely]

Hey gang, as the new owner of Triton's grills I thought I'd post the link to a pic of them installed on the Viberant Thing. Let me know if y'all think they look better on an abyss car!

[ycart1201]

vey nice!Nathanycart1201

[Fievel]

Keely, seeing those on your abyss promted me to order a set of my own today. I also ordered reflective dark red flame decals that come off the vibe badges on the doors. I have a red pinstripe on each side, so I'm hoping it'll look cool.BTW....I haven't posted on here forever....nice to be back

[Keely]

Welcome back, and I look forward to seeing all of your enhancements!

[Fialchar]

Personally, I like the billet steel grills the best. The grills you have on do look exceptionally well-made from the close-up pic, I just don't care too much for the design, the circles IMO don't really go with much, and they tend to throw your Vibe's design scheme askew.BTW, Every time I see the word Triton, or your Vibe, I'm strangely reminded of Neo, from The Matrix. Anyone else reminded of this, or am I just a crazy Jap?
