E Auto Evolution Grille anybody?

Am looking to change my stock 04 grill and came across this from EAuto Grilles.

http://www.eautogrilles.com/product_p/46-0521.htm

I tried to find if anyone had mounted one on a First Gen but didn't see any evidence of this. I do like the rivet styling...I know it's not for everyone, so please hold off if you're a hater.

It's a bit pricey at almost 300 clams, but I'm pretty sure I don't have the skills to pull this off, and IMHO grills are to trucks what teeth are to women (kind of like wheels are to trucks what bolt-ons are to women).

Has anyone done this mod and can you comment on the fit and finish?

 

"high performance upgrade from the standard grille" LOL
it looks ok, does it come preinstalled or is it just the insert? I got a grille craft and its great

 

And it's black, so it's high performance and 'tactical' too!

 

I've been waiting for one of these to come out for years! And they just decide to finally come out soon before I sell my truck sick grill!!!!!

 

It looks like it's the whole unit, not just an insert, which is why I was pretty interested in it. I just don't trust I would do a clean enough job if I did the insert myself...and yes, it is kind of Tactical, which shows my old cop roots I guess? Just a feeler trying to see if anyone has done one yet?

 

Ive spent a little time looking at grill options myself, have not seen one of these installed on a 1st gen. VENTURE FORTH, AND GO WHERE NO 1ST GEN HAS GONE BEFORE!!!!!





















..................... Just come back with a review

 

^^^^^^^^^^^ what he said! OP i have literally been searching for years for that exact grill and have even looked at that company before trying to find one like that and never did. Im thinking that it just came out recently. You should get it and install it and post some pics up and let us know how it goes!

 

I like it..cheaper then a Homertaco grill..but pricey if you can do it yourself.

 

You guys inspire me...I've got it on the list of mods. I've got some custom sliders being built with a step for my short little wife that doesn't look too much like a step. Will do the grill mod after the sliders and let ya'll know how it turns out!

 

subbed! I'm interested to see how it looks on a truck as well.

If you do get it, be sure to post pics! You'll be the first!

 

I did mine myself. Bought a used grill on ebay (it had a broken tab so got it cheap) so I could work at my leisure. Once complete, sold my old grill and almost broke even.

 

StAndrew... Nice grill mod, and good call on the eBay unit

 

there was some DIY around here of someone making this exact style grill. Cost like $20 or something. Looks kinda silly to me though. Rivets are 'ok' on the big part, but way over the top on the 2 outer sections.

If grilles on cars to you as teeth are to women..then I think the grille looks like a cheap hooker with fishnet leggings zip-tied together in about 25 spots.

 

Hey you last two posters...a little quote from my original post on this thread:

"I know it's not for everyone, so please hold off if you're a hater."

I was asking if anyone else had done this mod, not if you liked the grill.

I and others obviously like this grill and would not have posted if we didn't. Your lack of respect is the kind of thing that breaks down communities like this that we all enjoy.

Since you two dislike the rivets so much it inspires me all the more to get one, put it on my truck, and hope you will see it and it pisses you off...

 

Yeah man, wasnt too hard as long as I didnt feel rushed. Took my time and did some work every other day until I got it about how I wanted it. I didnt get the lips completely perfect but to do so would have cost another tube of bondo and I was trying to keep costs neutral. Didnt bother me much so I learned to live with it. Can only notice if you look REAL close.

Critical yes, not very constructive though...

 

Critical? yes. It was very important we let him know that grille looks awful.

 

Personally, I like it. Although some wont go for it because it wont complement their trucks color ...or chrome accessories. Mine is all black and red. I like the grill so Im going to contact them and see if they can use some black rivets instead. Thanks for posting this. I have been looking for a nice grill for a while now.

 

Hopefully someone gets one, I wanna see what it looks like. I kinda like it!

 

Haha! Ive always thought anonymous open forums were the death of objectivity.

 

i like it too OP you should try it out! think it'll look good on your truck!! dont forget to post up some pics.. subbed
