Pops Racer Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Options are all black square or diamond, chrome trim w/black insert square or diamond. Can't make up my mind, fickle like a redhead!this should probably be in Cosmetics and exterior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pops Racer Posted July 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 No to all? Thats not helpful. Besides you drive a 244. buzz off. Just checked out your rebuild, looks like you got your hands full, looks good too! I am also on the hunt for a 240 series for a daily/winter driver. Ironically the parts I am looking at come from a shop in AZ. Germanauto 3k7 on Ebay. If you got a grill style I should look at let me know, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks for the input.

Guest VolvoCrazy70 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 This doesn't seem like a PERFORMANCE question. More like Cosmetic.Anyways I don't care for any of those.I would look into the IPD mesh grilles and or the EST mesh or eggcrate grilles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pops Racer Posted July 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Yup, maybe a mod will move it for me. You are correct, the mesh ones look cleaner. I'm checking others also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tca217 Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Keep the stock one, just paint it black. Those all look kind of cheap. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattphi Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 IPD. They look the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pops Racer Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yup, the mesh ones are looking nicer every time I check 'em. Paint the stock one? Don't know about that. I'll check into it. I am looking to de-badge the car almost completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blown_volvo850r Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Don't bother painting the stocker. Regardless of what paint you use, it'll get chipped and look terrible. Get a mesh grill from IPD or EST. Like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-5BattleWagon Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I have had mine for an entire New England winter, and one front end collision, and none of the paint has chipped. Minor bug guts from my road trip to ohio, but when I get motivated I will remove those. I think Chris (p0cket penguins) put like 6 coats of plasti-dip on it. It looks really good, and I think other than blown_volvo850r, its the best looking option over stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beiner Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Diamond, but they still don't look good as there are better options.If you do paint, paint with plasti-dip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blown_volvo850r Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Here's my honest opinion. Get the chrome/silver grille. If it's too bright, use VHT Nightshade and darken it. You could still keep the polished shiny look and darken it all the way to a black ice or black chrome, which would be super hot. I considered doing it on mine, but I didn't wanna fool with it, so I chose the black. I've used Krylon Fusion and Krylon Chalkboard paint on mine, and haven't been able to get the paint to be chip free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the car was darker in color, black would work better. Black works great with red, green, blue, darker greys like charcoal, black, yellow, and of course white. Have you seen CJ's grill? He uses a mesh also. I need to check that out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
