which one of these looks better?

or

that being said, any S2 owners on here? I wanted to know what your part number is for your Upper grille. those are stock euro grills, but they should be cheaper if I get a part number from you owners.

also, I noticed there a bunch of different grilles you could buy, Im not really sure which one I want or how to really obtain it. can someone post their Euro grills, where they got it from, and how much they ended up paying for it?

thanks

Definately the bottom one, the yellow just sticks out on the other grille. Is that illegal to not have turns if you dont have them in the headlights?

I believe you need turn signals both on the bumper and above the bumper for the front end. Out of the two pics I'd have to go with the bottom grill.

Second grill for sure. But what do you mean S2 owners? They have the same grills as any other non-svt US focus.

The Mach grilles were the only stock US grilles without signals in them. They were just blank plastic.

agreed, go with the second one, and paint the mesh in the lower grille black.

Dude that shouldnt even be a question(2)

If you paint your bumper mesh black it will look amazing.

I was going to mount the turn signals behind the grill, I took them out of the DRL system so they dont really do anything (unless I turn of course) it is the law to have side marker indicators and ones either in the headlights, or beside the headlights.

I should learn more of the law I just got fined $327... good times

everyone is right the second grille is HOT, can anyone point me in the direction of a Euro grille? (with a symbol)

and edit:

the guy who owns the S2 I saw mustve bought the grille, because I saw another one and it just has the standard ZX3 grille.

bottom one, and re-locate your turns into where the fog lights are.... as for side marker requirements, do what they did to the RAV-4, they just put some stick-on reflectors and stuck them on the front-side of the bumper and they were dot-compliance already.

I do have side markers anyways, so it doesnt really matter. I was just going to mount my turn signals behind the euro grille, so the turns can still be there, they will just be smoked out so they cant be seen unless they are turned on.
