Installed my SE grille

[R07M]

I installed my SE grille late last night. LOVE it over the LE grille.

I picked it up on ebay for $85

(ps, if any of you were the other person bidding, sorry!)

You son of a *****, you're the one that beat me. Nah jk man, it looks good. Does it install pretty easily?

No, the one on ebay was Blue ribbon already, pretty lucky. THe guy also shipped the lower grille from his SE as well... Although, I really don't think there's a difference between the SE and LE lwoer grille.

Actually, I got a little scared reading some of the posts on here saying it was difficult, but I found it very easy. I didn't take the bumper off to install, I actually had a ton of screw drivers, and I had one that was the perfect length to take off the two screws.

The whole install was about 10 minutes.

I've been looking on eBay alot and never saw an SE grill, your lucky. Im keeping an eye out for a red one, but I doubt i'm going to find one, lol.

Yeah, I check ebay almost daily looking for 07 stuff, and usually it's the same stuff, I was really lucky to stumble across this... and the right color as well. I was going to purcahse one from a site I know for 124 plus shipping, but this one for 80 is good for me.

Great find!

Looks great. Get the body kit and you will be good to go. The tinted headlights also add a subtle (it was more noticable in Gen 5) but nice touch to the SE. The SE as a whole just looks better than the other 3 trims.

I agree. I saw an SE body kit on eBay but it was white. I also bought a light smoke headlight tint but I couldnt get it to actually fit over it, so it's just sitting in my room.

In my experience, the headlight and tailight tint films are tough to deal with. I am contemplating opening up my headlights and painting the housings.

I got a headlight tint cover (hid-blue - thicker than the one's on ebay) and the first one I did I didn't stretch it enough... but it turned out fine! The second one I did turned out almost perfect. Since the one's I bought were 20-25mil thick, you really had to stretch and use a hair dryer for heat to make it flexible.

I like the LE grille.

lol, I think the white SE bodykit is from Epsilon.........but I'm just guessing here.

^^ Yup, that was mine. Speaking of, the kit was recently sold.
