    Anyone using the partsgeek grills for the 05-11 grills or even the 12-14 grills been receiving them lately with no weatherstripping? I have gotten 3 05-11 grills without the stripping and 2 12-14 grills missing it also. It has gotten to be such a bad ratio of good versus bad that I'm looking to change vendors.

    if anybody wants a free 2012 grille. One that was chrome, painted to match black but the clear didnt bond properly. I'm in surrey BC, its all yours. Maybe a base to practice a satoshi or something I dunno. Just PM me. Its going in the garbage if nobody wants it.

    Here is my customcargrills.com mesh insert for my 2014. I am pretty happy with it. I would like to have a pro like some of those mentioned in this forum make one for me, but for about $65 for this I am content... for now.

    The instructions for this mesh called for sandwiching the mesh between the surround and the back piece of the grill, but then gluing to the bottom part. I could not for the life of me figure out how to do that and make the mesh sit flush. I ended up modding the back piece in such a way that I was able to sandwich the entire mesh all around between the two pieces. To me, this seems way more study than relying on goo to hold the mesh in place.

    Looks good ^^ I saw that one from customcargrilles but like you said I don't know how well that epoxy would work for the bottom

    Met Fiolo this morning to pickup my Satoshi. This kid is awesome. Excellent work and attention to detail. Couldn't be happier with the new grille.
