I want to put custom grills on the front of my 96 se and I cant find them anywhere.  Does anyone know where I can get them or who will make them for me? Any direction on how to do them myself would be good because that low cost.

try www.bomexaero.com or www.veilsideusa.com.
i found more on jap sites but $expensive! i ended up buying a stock grille and cutting out each opening as big as i could. if u try it just work slow and take out a little at a time til u like it. use a dremel tool and files. after cutting fab grille mesh....looks great!

&nbsp;Was wondering, how much mesh should I buy if I want to do this myself? Also, how difficult was it to do? Did the bumper cover have to come off? Any advice?

Thanks,

umm it should all be on my web page:
http://communities.msn.com/grantswebpage.
I've update a couple of pics, but its all there, my car pretty much looks the same.

http://jspec.com has a couple of grilles you might like but they are expensive as ####. I got the JDM silvia grille, althought I like the navan one better.

i used like $3 chicken wire or some shit, if you guys want a nice grille, get the grillecraft stuff. I only did it cuz the cross piece of my lower grille kinda fell off (as you can see).

Not really, my tires wear perfect in the fronts although the car needs an alignment since I took off my old tension rods and also put on the rear upper arms.
