Default Black Retro Grille

Anyone have any experience with this grille? I've heard to stay away from overlays but I really like the look of this. Would it be possible to mount fogs from behind?

If it's just an overlay you won't be able to mount fogs behind them.
It will look great though. My grill is an overlay and you cant tell just looking at it, and mine isn't even black

If you're like that look, but you want something more than an overlay, what about this one.

I really like that, especially for $140

Thanks

That looks cool, but is it 100% plastic? I don't know if I would like that for a billet style grille. Although I suppose its the same as a honeycomb grill

That's what I thought at first, but my honeycomb grille now is 100% plastic, so it really doesn't bother me much.


Would it be possible to mount a tri-bar pony emblem or fogs on that?

You can definitely mount an emblem, I wouldn't put fogs on it though. They won't fit behind it and would look tacky if they're stuck on top, if they would even hold

True true, I think I'd just go with the pony

Yeah I like the tri-bars off the the side, I think it looks classy as hell.
