07-08 RS lower Bumper grill?

[SirDigby]

I notice the JDM front bumper has a lower grill that matches the upper grill.
does anyone know where this grill can be purchased?

[WeeYari]

Do you have a JDM (or replica) front bumper?

[SirDigby]

I have a stock USDM. I was going to make it fit. (depending on the price)
I did just find some nice mesh from Germany, but the shipping is like $55 ($40 a sheet, I need 2, so $100)

it's in this picture, but I can't find where one is for sale....
part: 53112E


oh, I just found it on that same website... I wonder what it really looks like...

[SirDigby]

I ordered it.
I will take pictures in 10-15 days

[WeeYari]

I don't know why you want to do this. The openings are nothing close to similar and it will be a Frankenstein job making it work, imo.

[SirDigby]

we'll see....in 10-15 days...
if it totally sucks, it was only $26.00
the yen is down...

[SirDigby]

you were exactly right there, weeYari it's not even close. the problem is that it's TOO SMALL. (what?) if it were 3 inches longer, I could easily make it work. the reason I wanted to make it work was so the lower grill would match the upper grill. I guess the only thing I can do right now is pull out that garbage "x" style grill and install a gutter guard and paint this silly bumper grill black or cut it out. any other suggestions?

Please provide a picture of your car then we might be able to see what you're talking about and give you suggestions. Thanks.

That 3" difference is one of the things that make the JDM RS bumper so visually appealing. The lower grill honors the lines established by the upper grill.

the height is fine, it's not long enough.
the front bumper is a stock USDM polar white 07
it's that silly grid pattern:

Grill bars removed



Grill bars painted out

I think I might just paint the vertical part and leave the horizontal parts white. I think if I cut out the verticals it would sag and flap in the wind. I do like how no grill looks too...
