I modded mine a lot.... I put JDM 03-04 Corolla fog lights in, cut out the grille and fiberglassed the holes ... I put the chrome strip on, and I filled the pinstripe dents on the sides. Oh, and moved the license plate lower and filled the holes.... all this in addition to modding it to fit on a 94

yes! do mesh! it looks good! You can also put a front lip onto the bumper, but I guess you could do that after you put the bumper on.

Another mod that is practical for you - block off the grille. Your car warm up faster that way and can save you some gas. Google for "grille block".

The chrome piece is a separate part that should be clipped on. And my suggestion is to make sure the body shop mask off the part of the grille where the logo goes; that part is not painted from the factory.

I actually did this with a piece of aluminum plate covered with carbon fiber vinyl.... what a difference! I have heat now LOL... and the car actually runs a lot better.
