    Euro Grills. WGAF

    OK I might be dumb/slow but until now didn't know the difference between euro and us grills....

    so all these people get boners over a grill that isn't cut out above the lights? Thats IT?

    I think the US grills look better anyway.

    ^You would be wrong on that one. I think Euro grills look better.

    Sorry.

        The slight eyebrow effect of the euro grills is just a bit more aggressive looking, IMHO.

          It's because eyebrows are gay on most colors of e30, except maybe black. Due to the way the grilles meet the kidneys, eyebrows just look silly. The euro grille is the next best option. A clean line all the way across the top just looks smoother. Plus there are different cutouts for airflow if that's your thing.

          Personally, I think your US grilles are gay and I got the euros cause all the cool kids were doin it.

            That's the reason I like them, just a smoother line across the top of the grilles, the cutouts of the US ones just don't look right to me.

            But I'm sure if I lived in Europe, I'd want the US ones. :D

              Heh, isn't that always the way? Like the way the Europeans eat up those shitty aftermarket tails and pull their smilies for Depo angel-browneye crap? Fuck you, greener grass.

                  The euro grills look like they are a finished product. Where the US ones look like an after thought. But what am i to say, i got US ones in mine covered by Kamei eyebrows.

                    The US Grills are the way they are to fit sealed beams because the EU lights were DOT illegal...

                    They were a retrofit...

                    They look retrofit...

                        it's just a sharper look. the cutout on the US grilles makes the car look bug eyed.

                              or the more important fact josh, if you lived in europe youd have headlight wipers, which euro grills have holes for.

                              euro grills are cleaner, and the cut outs for better flow to the radiator are a plus.
