I just picked up one of the very few remaining JDM Palace front grills. I forget what its actually called but I call it the most ridiculous hot grill Ive ever seen on an xB. I had to trim it to fit with the USDM headlights since we have that stupid bump in ours. Im told there were only ever a handful of these imported into the country. I basically just mounted it for fitment and will be sending out for paint tomorrow and installing the mesh in the center area. I cant even believe how amazing this thing looks. Check it out and let me know what you all think...

DAMN MAN! that is a hot grill!!! how much did you pay for that beauty?!? goes good with the lip kit makes it look mean!! > love it!!.. make sure you post up another pic of it in the sunlight when its painted..

ElChupacabra

Thanks for the complements everybody. My car has never looked better. I got the grill from a friend in NJ who just traded in his xB. He was only asking $150 which I couldnt pass up. Apparantly it was for sale in the PPC section for a long time on here. I never saw it until he threw it on ClubxB.com Ive never even seen this grill in a pic let alone on a car in person. I just had to have it...

...more pics coming tomorrow after paint.

that looks sick!!!

No offense man, but that looks like ___. I do like how it looks from dead on, but the way it bulges out just throws off the whole front end.

Glad you like it though.

pandaslayer

Your opinion is wrong.

ElChupacabra

These pics do it absolutely no justice like I said before. The bulge out is the best part about it. It adds serious depth to the normally flat front end of the xB. Im totally in love with this.

Pandaslayer - Thanks for gettin my back!

Sooo, black mesh to fill it in?

Don't forget to paint your hood latch.

ElChupacabra

Yeah black mesh for sure. I have some super tight mesh to use. Im not a fan of that open look with the wider mesh. Its like the Grillcraft mesh. I cant wait to get it totally done...

Rrrrriiigght.

If you dont like it thats cool man. Some people wont like it. Thats just the way modding goes. I take the good and the bad...

Congrats, I like it. But I am looking at it as being completed with the mesh grill and painted. Nice mod.

Sweet !!
Thanks for posting the pictures !!

dudeeee. i want one. haha it looks sooo good.

It looks good...my one suggestion would be to mold over the bulge instead of leaving it trimmed like that.

ElChupacabra

Yeah, I had that idea already have worked it out with a friend of mine that does fiberglass. Im gonna rock it like this for about a week and then work with him to mold it over the bump. It wont be that hard to do apparantly. I got it painted yesterday and put the mesh in this morning. It looks so much better now that you can see the end result. I'll be posting some more pics today after a photoshoot Im going to in Philadelphia all day...
