Well friends I've got an ordeal here.
Back in January I ordered a sporte grille w/ matching bumper insert from Street Beat Customs. I received the grille but not the bumper insert. I called the manuf. and they explained to me the reason I did not get it was because it had not yet been manuf. @!@$#! They were planning on making it though but higher demand for other vehicle grilles.
Now today after waiting 7 months it arrives and to my dismay it's too big. I called the manuf and they said they couldn't do it for the 98 sport because the bumper was chrome and the whole process is "ICKY" to make it work.
Now I have this nice grille which I really like that I drilled into my factory grille for and I have this insert that is too big.
The way the sporte grille is.....it lays on top of the existing grille and not behind the shell. I tried slipping the bumper insert into the opening to have it show through from behind the opening rather then the front but its too long to fit it.
I was thinking I could cut some off and attach it somehow in there and make it work.
What is behind that area close enough that I could rig something up to mount this against that bumper opening?
They said it would fit the plastic bumper.....and I was talking before about getting a 99 bumper......
this would work.....
I dunno......anyone have a 99 grey plastic bumper for sale??
Suggestions please...
oh yeah
I am def. putting Street Beat Customs on the **** list and transaction section of this site. They earned it !
