sorry for those I havent responded to. Im in the caribbean so I dont get on my computer too often

anyways as far as performance mods go I have only done the throttle body, Plenum and Intake.

About the mesh grill its from suncoast and someone posted the link to it. Its a very high quality piece and its painted silver but I painted mine gloss black at home. It comes with small rivettes so I used a gun to rivett it in.

I also ordered the 2003 exhaust tips from suncoast just because I thought it would look good with the bumper and I liked the brushed look it had. I had to cut off my old tips with a plasma cutter at home and grind it down and put these on and MIG welded the insides. Yea I should have got an exhaust but didnt like any I saw and I really liked these tips.

FYI any doing facelift upgrades from a pre '03 your muffler will be visible through the rear bumper so the "550 anniversary rear bumper grille" I think is necessary and Im ordering mine

The mesh grill is solid and not your typical grill. It has a frame around it and it has a beautiful silver finish. I sprayed mine black. You cannot see it in the pics but up close it makes the bumper look very expensive. It fits flush and rivets in.

When I changed my bumper I realized that the heat shield around the muffler was visible. I should have either sprayed it black or tried to see if i could push it up a bit. So its slightly visible through the mesh although the mesh covers it somewhat well. It just looks like the muffler until you get really close and see its the heat shield. So watch out for that when you changing your bumper.

I changed my tips so my old ones dont look small in the new bumper.

I got tips and mesh from suncoast and it cost me an arm and a leg. Tips were cheaper at suncoast then the dealer with a discount.
