I like the look of the wire mesh grilles but they look like they might reduce the airflow into the motor compared to the stock grille. Is this an issue at all?
Does anyone have a link to good quality grilles? Are there some companies to stay away from? (cheaply made)
Thanks for any information you can provide.
Further searches have educated me in some differently made grilles. Looks like a group buy took place about 5 years ago to buy some nice looking ones from the UK. Still looking for a current source.
With the mesh grille you can see through it and see everything behind it like the horns etc.when you see through it it ruins the look I think, some people have sprayed every thing black behind the grille to hide this somewhat.
I still prefer the OEM grille, next preference is the chrome overlay grille as Valk shows.
Here is the Zunsport grille you are talking about, it is the best one out there, do not buy the mesh grille with the wide band around it, it looks nowhere as good as this one.

They also make a very nice hatch cover as they show,
