Billet grilles for our cars 2009-2010



Hello, my name is Marco and I just purchase a 2010 corolla S, back in january, I actually downgraded from a crewmax Tundra to a Corolla S but I love my car so its cool, better gas milage, better on montly paymets ans insurance. all I have done to the car is tint the windows and take off that stupid front license plate that kills the look of the car. I'm in the process on buying a billet grill for the upper and lower part, I was wondering if anybody MIGHT be interested in also getting a set for themself. The shop is actually like 5 minutes away from my house, I'm going to try to see if I can get these two grilles for $85. if anybody else is interested in them please let me know here a pic of what the car will look like once are on it.

I don't recommend putting any chrome stuff on the grille. I put the chrome grille molding on for about 9 months and ended up taking it off. Keep it original.

I am unsure why you would remove them, they look nice! That's a nice price for the grill, pending. Any pics of these grills as there are several variations i've seen?

change in taste. After some time you tend to appreciate how your car looked factory. Go ahead and try it. You will probably like it for awhile then get sick of it. Everything runs full circle. That's what's fun about modifying. You can usually go back to original and it even seems different and looks good.

I love the OEM grille and am fine with it.

The billet looks ok, just not a fan of the style of how its more closed in.
