    as alot of you all know, i just put on an SD hood and Air dam. My car has Chrome grilles as it is and i would like to either buy (if they are made) or create matching chrome grilles for my Sd hood.

    Are there chrome grilles out there or do i need to create them to insert them here, how would i do so?


    And im sure i would have to create some grilles to go in this little insert of the Air Dam:


    I want it to look just like this:


    Now i do have the 4-piece polished aluminum grille set from PFYC but i ended up losing One of the lower grilles, so i have one remaining. Could i use that to cut up, to the shape of everything or is there something simpler and easier way of doing this?

    I think most people who have this hood custom rigged their own grills for them to match what they had in the bumper. If you can get another set of the bottoms I would just customize the lower you have into a set of grills for the hood so it all matches, but it really up to you.

    you can always go on Ebay and get a sheet of universal mesh to match the kind you have and mold it for the lowers based on the one you have left and use excess to make matching ones for the hood and SD Lip sides.

    I think the sheets are only like 25-30 and if you can match it, it would be worth the try. If not, you're just gonna have to shell out some money lol

    Im almost positive that back when i was thinking about grilles i found some sets that you could get the grilles for a ram air hood for a little extra if im not mistaken. As for grilles in the air dam im sure ud need to do your own.

    I was thinking the same thing when I first read this thread and I did some searching but couldn't find anything either. Thus why I suggested molding your own and trying to match the style. But if you could find them that would be alot easier

    I am having the same problem right now. I have the sd hood and the previous owner botched some grilles in there and they look terrible does nobody actually make a grill set anymore?
