So how have you dressed up your Nox? Me, so far I've.... painted the muffler black, added the towing hitch, a stainless exhaust tip, splash guards, SilverStar Ultra high beams and last night I installed this little gem. http://www.shopsar.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=1336-0185-10Q&click=2 Stainless steel grill. Makes the front end a little classier than the black plastic mesh. |

Replying to: gasman2 (Oct 12, 2009 5:22 pm) I plucked the grill off eBay at a big discount from the current price. The grill was not an easy job. They promote 60 minutes, plan on more like 4 hours. You can't have big forearms because there is very little room between the OEM grill and the radiator. Both arms were pretty scratched up once I was finished. You have to pry the top half of the grill away from the body and hold it in place with shorts 2x4s. There is very little design tolerance in the fit which makes it that much more difficult but that much nicer too, once it's in. Getting it in place without scratching the existing chrome takes patience and lots of masking tape to protect the chrome. At first I thought the new grill was too wide to fit and actually called to return it. The upper lip has to slide under the inside upper lip of the existing grill, then it pops right into place, but they didn't mention that in the instructions. Also you need a really odd size thumb ratchet 11/32 or a ratcheting box wrench to turn the tiny nuts on the back side. There's not a whole lot of room for a small socket wrench. I found the 9MM works well enough.

Replying to: runox (Oct 12, 2009 6:11 pm) They arrive 12/8 and i will inform ya'all if they fit. Tire height is 28.66 vs the Nox's 28.52 which is damm close. front rims are 8 wide with 35 offset vs Nox's 7.5 wide with 40mm offset. rears are 9 wide with 40 offset. Looks like they are going to fit. There are about 20 sets of these on ebay all the time and the sell for $950-1200 Wish me luck. Also I was going to put SS silverado brake duct bumper vents in the place of those ugly plastic non foglight hunks of crap, but can't find a body shop brave enough to do it."> |
