Are there any other options for grills than the one from McCune Tehnology (@ 119 dollars )? That seems a little steep for a piece of steel. And I don't see any group buys that I would qualify for.

 

How bout this thread? Looks like a GB is going on now.

Hey guys,

That is the same company. Coastal Metals IS McCune Tech. It is a nice looking grill on the car.I have it but I have not seen any other options out there either.

...I just received my grills from Coastal Metals yesterday. They appear to be of the highest quality, customer service was outstanding, and I think they will be functional as well as attractive. How can you quibble over $100 when you paid 33K for your car? If you want them, then find the best price and buy them.

 

Has anybody reported cooling problems with these on the race track where the engine is just working all the time?

 

Before Coastal Metals entered the picture, one of our members - Dennis from Orlando fabricated a grill out of expanded metal surrounded by a rubber bead. Functional and nice looking for about $40. I have one on my car. Since it's a more open design, I don't worry about airflow being restricted. It's absorbed a lot of bug and rock hits that would have otherwise dented the A/C condensor.

Dennis, are you still hanging around?

 

I made my own grill:

I purchased a sheet of 20ga expanded aluminum with 1/4" honeycombs... looks great because it has a lot of open area and is not too shiney and lets plenty of air through...

I had a Dennis grill (before I gave it away) and it seemed to be a plastic mesh material...

 

was also wondering about any cooling problems and also does this correlate in any way to any performance loses?
thanks
