    Yeah, a link!

    That's nice. I wonder if they have one that doesn't cover the fog lamps.

    The grille that was designed for the Prius was done so on a non-foglight equipped vehicle. I believe that they are comming out with a grille that accomadates the fog lamps pretty soon. If you are interested in the grilles feel free to give me a call (831) 566-9163, or you can shoot me an email at [email protected]

    FYI, I'm working with Paul to add these grilles to the PC Shop.

    T-Rex makes a good quality grille. I sell them at my shop and I have not had any issues with them.

    Don't like them at all. They are is the same category as wheel-spinners from Wal-Mart.

    I installed a billet grill in mine and it does not cover my fog lights.

    I like the mesh one but it looks a little flimsy. Looks like one corner is coming off.

    And could it be painted the same color as the car? I don't like chrome and prefer painted parts.

    The last thing I want is bigger holes. I think the chances of a rock bouncing up in there now is bad enough.

    i assure you that grille is NOT flimsy. Maybe this picture does not do it justice but If you saw it in person you would see the quality of this grille. Unfortunately it can not be color matched, but it can be powdercoated black. A Grille that will not cover the headlights is in the works.

    I just test fitted the billet (non-mesh) grille pictured to a Prius w/ foglights and it WILL WORK... but it will still cover the fogs.

    Is there a weight savings over stock? I'd be interested in lightening the front of the car.
