Default S6 or RS 6 Grille?

EPI has a good price on S6 grilles but then they have a pic of the RS 6 grille below. They state both fit only the 4.2. I'm leaning towards the S6 grille because of the price and I always liked the look of Stoney's but both are available and well, both are available.

Default how will the RS 6 diamond mesh pattern look

do you think you'd have to do something with the fog light grilles as well so they 'match'?

just a thought...

i think id vote for the RS grille.

Default If you can get the lower S6 or RS6 grill go with either but if you can just buy the hood grill...

it will just not match the lower grill, keep the stock grill.

That's just my $0.02

Default The RS6 grille is brushed and the S6 is polished aluminum...

the two grilles look very different.
I put an RS6 grille on the S6 because I like the brushed look and the diamond pattern. I wouldn't replace the upper grille without doing both because it does look a little weird.

I ordered the lower RS6 grille awhile back and I'm still waiting for it to show up.

Default RS6 brushed look will not match your trim. Could replace them, too....

I lke the look of the S6 grille... an upgrade that isn't too ricey.

You'll need to buy the hood hook also for the appropriate grille. Not sure if the S6 and RS6 hook are the same, though. A6 hook won't work on S6 grille, that much I know.<ul><li><a href="http://sonolithics.com/files/a6_links.html#grilles">http://sonolithics.com/files/a6_links.html#grilles</a</li></ul>

Default Have you asked around about H&R Springs on 4.2? What I recall is that....

One make of springs is not lower at all, the other is too low. Potholes and city driveways will kill your new car bumper. I decided I would pop for coilovers if I upgraded. Plus, I think they're adjustable.
