Grill = Satoshi or Standard Mount for a Grillcraft

Trying to decide how to go about this. Since the 2014 grill is a wee bit different, it can easily be made into a Satoshi grill (just not very deep, which is a-ok for me) or the Grillcraft usual mount.

What say you?? Are there better/cheaper/nicer looking options for the current grillz?

Please and thank you...

 

I'm holding out for a deep lip satoshi.

 

Satoshi looks way better!!

 

I remember seeing someone making and selling 2012 deep satoshi on tw

I like the satoshi grill. Had one on my 2011. On my 2013 I ended up going with the custom car grills DIY grill. I did a writeup on it a while back.

Your writeup ^^ helped convince me to do the customcargrills mod myself

 

I vote satoshi

 

Really dig this...

That is really clean looking, and although the deeper-mounted grill looks like catfish lips to me, this looks awesome. Did you do the lower grill as well? If so, how'd that go.

Essentially, I REALLY like the material from grillcraft, just not the price...although the hex is purdy sexay...

Added a poll so's it'll be easier to see the overall consensus

 

Thanks for the kind words Lower grill/bumper/valence just has billet from when I did my "bro-billet" grill. I will be doing an LED bar down there or just waiting for my new bumper; no plans for that.

Grillcraft is $250 plus shipping? Supplies for my satoshi was $300 plus my time.

Had some inspiration from your thread on the emblem
Thanks!

 

I did a grillcraft with bamf letters. It turned out nice.

 

HFS! Is it made out Californium 252?





Nerdy Note: Californium ranges in cost from about $10 a microgram. For one pound of Californium it would cost 350 billion dollars! The Oak Ridge National Laboratory offers Californium for sale.

 

I only paid like 190. its a solid product. Its not flimsy and bolts on instead of being glued in the the cargrille one.

 

The custom car grills mesh is only $50. I was hesitant about using an adhesive for a grill, but I can say that it is been holding up very well.

 

good to hear. I looked the installs on both before I ordered. I decided I would rather bolt it on then trust myself with gluing it on and not getting glue everywhere.

 

I hear ya. I would have preferred to use bolts to secure the mesh, but there isn't enough mesh material or lower grill area to attach bolts like there is when building a deep satoshi style grill.

 

So the whole bolts vs glue debate is here...really good info
