2011 regal
I just switched out the stock grill with this black ice mesh grill from E&G classics. I love the way it cleaned up the front of the car. I will post more pics once I get it out in the sun. So far I will need to change the intake system because it shows through the grille and is very ugly. Ive done a little bit of research but can only find intake systems for the turbo 2.0L regal and I have the 2.4L engine. Has anybody changed this system out before and knows what may work good? I have been looking at a few different cold air intakes and was wondering which one may fit my car best.

It was a pretty easy process to complete. It took my friend and I about 4 1/2 hrs. to finish and I was surprised at how simple it turned out. I was a little scared to take my bumper off and start cutting stuff apart but the instructions were very simple and easy to follow.

It looks oddly vacant in the shade....LOL.
 
Dunno if I like it...sorry!
Part of the attraction of my GS is that big, beautiful Buick grill!
However, I plan to pull out the cheap plastic lower 'fang' grils and lower, center grill and replace them with a black powder coated stainless grills....I think
