Hey,

Just wanted any ideas on if it's possible to replace my 380 ES top grille with any other different grille?
such as the VRX or even a galant grille?

My current grille has a deep scratch, and i also like the look of the mesh on the vrx & gt grilles.

any help is appreciated,
Thanks.

Thanks Mecha, that is what I was trying to explain in another thread. The two grills are a different size & shape and they are not interchangable without major & expensive surgery. The only feasible way to do it is a complete new front bar. A picture is worth a thousand words!

the ES/LS grille looks wider with the bar narrower between the grille and light compared to the SX/GT/VRX grille which looks like it has a deeper lip at the bottom as well

Ahh,
Thanks mecha and kj, I get it now.
It would be way to expensive then to do this, and it probably wouldn't fit with the rest of the car nicely at all..

Cheers.

you could easily modify your one by the looks of it though
