geordie82 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 call me stupid, bone idle or anything else. is a supra suposed to have a grill? done a google search and seen http://www.ultimatestyling.com/products/details.mhtml?code=3708 my first thought was ooohhh that looks nice, but my 2nd was does it need an unresticted airflow to cool the beast under the bonnet. i honestly have no idea spent £100 save on a stone mashing radiator or save £100 at the risk of engine overheating help me please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Stock supra's do not have a grill. The AC rad is infront of the main rad so they take all the damage from stones, etc. With airflow it's generally considered best practice to keep it stock unless adding an FMIC or aftermarket bumper.

hiten55 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 does look good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 A bit of mesh wont hurt the airflow, my cars double meshed with this in the bumper and a finer mesh infront of the intercooler and ive no problems even on very hot sunny days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Zun Sport mesh seems to be a popular choice on here, looks good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyntersun Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I was thinking of getting a zun sport grill for my preface bumper. I personally think the preface bumper looks unfinished or odd without a grill. The face lift bumper looks good. Just think the preface needs something there. Think I will be buying a grill when I get my car back from the sprayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy thee brand new from Toyota, they're not too expensive, come colour coded and just need a couple of holes drilling to fit them.

Nic Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 The part numbers vary depending on the colour, sorry I don't have the Toyota EPC here to check. Pic of facelift bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyntersun Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 yeah that defiantly looks a lot better then just an open grill in my opinion. Is it both parts that you can get from Toyota. The middle black post and then the long post across the mouth of the grill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 It's all one piece, all the same colour from memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bignum Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Mesh is a better option as it protects from stones and other debris fly up off the road so is functional, its all about looks with you guys:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I think a well made mesh enhances the stock bumper and affords protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
