Speed Vs. Billet round 2

Brandon4AU · 09-07-2003, 05:39 PM

Last time I posed this question the billet grill won out by a long shot. Maybe with pictures the speed grill will have a better chance. (keep in mind that this mod is done, so dont hurt my feelings too bad!) If I knew how to make this a poll then I would.
Speed: (new)

Billet: (old)

IMO, the billet grille looks much cleaner...if you could get a chrome billet grille or get that one chromed it would look awesome.

But we're not the ones behind the wheel. Do what ever makes you tingle inside.

I like the cheap ebay billet grille.

youre biased

*Hartman* · 09-07-2003, 06:10 PM

It's a stretch to even call that piece of plastic a "billet" grill, because in reality there's nothing billet about it. Billet grills are made of billet aluminum not plastic.

I like both speed grills and billet grilles, it's really a matter of personal preference. What I DON'T like is that eBay stuff.

*GaSouthern1* · 09-07-2003, 06:17 PM

Mine sure wasnt plastic.

*X~FACTOR* · 09-07-2003, 08:05 PM

Another vote for the billet but don't worry there are waaaay too many of them already anyway. *thinking- i wish i was one of them*

**james t** · 09-07-2003, 08:24 PM

i vote it as a tie. i think the speedgrill would look better if it were one piece, but it still looks okay as a two piece. i also like just a few less bars on a billet...... not too few, just a tad less than your old one.

I would like the speedgrill better if it were one piece. I believe James is working on such a project.

espnfreak · 09-08-2003, 01:17 PM

doesnt grillecraft have a 1 piece speedgrille already?

*Hartman* · 09-08-2003, 02:01 PM

It is a one piece but it's not really made of the true Speedgrill material.
