Yes...but there are enough parts around that your $800 goes a lot further. That's 2 rims, or almost enough for coilovers, or new leather seats, or a nice sound system right there. Plus, in Japan they think the grill with the "L" is cool. I already got that. LOL.

I see your point, though. Grill is cool, too.

Sometimes you can find a Chrome 1st Gen grill on ebay for ~$200. Its usally being shipped from Japan or Hong Kong. Its just like the stock black plastic, but its chrome instead. I'm not sure if its plastic chrome or actual metal though...

He's refering to the kits that you can buy on eBay. They're just a number of pieces of chrome door edging that have been premeasured to fit the existing grill and have adhesive backing. You simply stick them on.....
Since this chrome grill is so hard to get a hold of, has anyone thought of just having the original grill chromed? I know a lot of aftermarket chrome pieces for motorcycles are actually chromed plastic, maybe it would work for the grill....
