Washed the car yesterday then drove it to get a haircut and got rained on during the drive home. Washed and detailed it again today and finally installed the Zunsport front radiator grills and the RGS side intake grills I’d ordered a few weeks back. I ordered a set of side Zunsport grills at the same time so I could see them in person and decide which to keep.
Zunsport fronts went in fast with no issues, I like the look and I really like having the front strakes protected.
I didn’t install the side Zunsport grills but did hold them up to see what they looked like before removing the side intakes and installing the RGS.
Removal was pretty straightforward and it helped reading someone here say it will take some effort and make some noises that will make you wince. True on both counts but nothing broke. The RGS sides were fussy and wouldn’t stay in place so I ended up wiring the grills to the intake slats to hold them in place while I got everything situated. Once everything clicked in I just removed the wire only to find each grill, while fitting nice and firm at the forward edge (closest to the door), is a bit loose and floppy at the trailing edge (closest to the tire) and shows a slight gap. Not completely satisfied with the fitment but to be honest I’m not sure I’d notice if I didn’t do the work myself.
I’m going to let this simmer for a while before deciding which side grill set to sell.
