The Buck's grill is made from the same material as Jaguar uses. Very rich looking. Very popular with the miata crowd. A lot of the ebay stuff should only be considered for keeping leaves out of your gutters. My 02.

Like everything else in life, opinions vary but I checked out this Buck's grille and think it looks like something I'd use to keep a dog out of the street. Way too much like a chain link fence for my liking.

I like the tighter construction of the grille-tech offering, shown here:

I do think it's good though that we have options. Not everyone likes the Tanabe twin cannon mufflers but for some of us, it was a no-brainer choice. Either way, it's a smart add-on to protect the radiator.

I installed the grill tech bullet hole grills and everyone has said great things. The front grill was not as easy to install as I thought.

caputo,

You state "MORE" on the front grille debate? Where was the "original" debate on this?

Buy a grill from Coastal Metals or GrilleTech, they are both sponsors of this board. Their prices vary but so does the product. Either way, you'll be happy.

I didn't really want to bring this up, but what the hell

caputo, since you are only a Guest and not a Member, what makes you think you should get a special discount from a sponsor? I don't mean that in a bad way, just that I think the sponsors should give discounts to Members (and I think that some do).

I looked hi and low for a true woven wire stainless steel grill for my S2000 and never found anything...

I bought a grille-tech recently (black, round holes) and while I have yet to install it, I think it will work out well.

Here is a picture of the Buck's grill from their web site:

IMO - Both the CM and the Grille Tech are look great on the S2000... the Buck's grill makes it look like the S2K has braces... yuk
