Finally got my grill today and can't wait for warmer weather to install. It does look great in the box. Hope the install is a breeze. Would like to do a photo install for others to use, if needed, as a guide. Ron

Sure did, just like yours.
Now if it would stop snowing and get warm I could put it in. Ron

H82BL8,

The only thing I am not fond of on your lowers, is the fact that it is just a cover for the exisiting louvres. I would much ratehr have a full replacement.

Remember, this is where the tow hooks are located and a lower grill needs to be removed to access one.

yeah, but then it blocks more air going to the heat exchanger.

Really doesn't block any more air than the lowers already do. If you look you'll see that they are not completely open. And, the front tow hook is behind them so you'll have to remove in case of a tow need. I like the way they attach to the existing grill. I haven't had anyone be able to see the original is still in place.

Looks really good! I have the 206 alabaster with the other billet grille that comes out all the way to the front for a more raked look on the grille, and the lowers go all the way across filling up the etire slot. any possibility of getting only the lowers from where you got yours from. I think I'd like to have my lowers more inset. But looks good!

You can just get the lowers. Priced very reasonable. Ron
