Are mesh grill inserts soooo 2004?

I used to have one on my '97 Integra and I liked it a lot. I think they look nice on S2K's too but I would get it in black if I was gonna get one. Though that silver one doesn't look too bad either. I would have to see it in person to pass final judgment though.

Back in '04 I had one for a few months. I also had one back in my civic ricer days, but that's a whole other story. I then realized that I wanted more air flow through the front end, not less, removed it and stuffed a FMIC in there. I would say that it belongs in '04, but if you like it then I would go with black.

I like it in black - understated.

I had one on my civic back in the days and it was a pain in the a** to clean(so much dead bugs ) After that I learn my lesson, no more silly stuff for me . Chicken fence + s2k = Fail

Black fine, silver (or 'natural') not so much.

Heres a pic of mine...Double powdercoated in gloss black. Goes with my theme and very understated. Can't even see it at night...

The only thing I don't like is the grillcraft badge on the lower driver's side has wore off...It's also the only part that hasn't been powdercoated.

This grill gives my car that "euro" look...IMO

I've been debating on getting this for a while now. The rocks and bugs around here are horrible. I'm glad you guys posted these pics so we can get a real-world view. Think I might have to pic up a set in black.

I don't really care.

I have a black one on mine as I've already lost one condenser and it was due to a very small rock. I'd highly recommend them. YMMV but I don't consider the condenser to be a sacrificial part like Honda apparently seems to.
