Default George Forman Grills???

Before you put in new side grills, consider that the grill s you got are already pretty nice. (I have a 93 as well). If you want to make your car stand out. somebody makes a light kit to go behind your grills and cast a led light through the openings. I saw the pics and thought- That's pretty neat. If I find it again, I'll post a link here.
Just a thought!

You do realize that the 84-90 pieces have a different molding, right? I'm pretty sure they still bolt right up, but they won't match your car's wide molding. If you stick with 91+ your molding will match.

The 95-96 style will fit no porb, plus I personally hated the 91-94 style so I put 95-96 on my 94.

I wasn't aware that the style changed from 95-96. What is the difference?
