Introducing the new Euro Grille Series. Exciting European super car style for your Corvette


I knew it!! Its Mercado latest mesh grill! Wait another few weeks, they'll put it on a different (and cleaner) Vette and market it as the newest wonder?? grill. RaceMesh still RULES!
to RaceMesh!

Pictures above show the poor framing with an almost non existent profile. Didn't even fit the grill opening.

Save yourself time and money and get a Racemesh....
I do not own a Racemesh, have a billet installed on mine, but the Racemesh is quality
Wow.....

Why does this Mercado Grille look so good in this picture?



and this one?



I am sorry dude but I don't believe you got a grille in that condition.

It looks like it was beat up or some mice chewed on it.

I think you just like slaming Mercado Grilles for soem reason.

Any person in their right mind who would receive a grille in that condition, and did not send it back and ask for a new one is either very rich or just does not care!

Why has no one else complained about this grille? Only you!

Sorry, but that is why I have a hard time believing you.

People from Mercado If you read this, I am sorry I even started this post. Please understand that i believe in your product and I have been to many car shows and met many people who have installed your grilles on their cars and they have nothing but positive things to say about it.

I like the look of you product and believe it will filter smaller pieces of road trash than the Race mesh grille.

I am very sorry.

Can you please tell me where YOUR Mercado pictures came from??? I believe RBYCC is the ONLY person on this forum that bought a Mercado Grill by his own self through an online retailer-Corvette
Central I believe. I think those pics you are showing are "show" pictures direct from Mercado. I have yet to see ONE photo here of anyone with a installed Mercado grill, save for GuitarStar who has admitted his Mercado grill was delivered by Mercado himself and installed by Mercado himself. So unless I see other proof here, I will believe what RBYCC claimed here. I know you cant provide a pic of a Mercado on your own car, as you dont have one! Pray tell, do you even own a Corvette? I am beginning to wonder if you are Peter Mercado himself using Leon1003 screen name on these forums.

What has that grill go to do with the one in your original post? The one in the original post is ugly and car it is on is trashed. I just don't think any vendor should display their product in such a poor fashion. Maybe it would look better if shown from further away and on a CLEAN C6. But the fact is it is not, so I can only judge it by what I see.

So they can sell their junk?

I am sorry dude but I don't believe you got a grille in that condition.

A picture is worth a thousand words !

It looks like it was beat up or some mice chewed on it.

I thought so too, we agree on something !

I think you just like slaming Mercado Grilles for soem reason.

Slamming because it's junk...

Any person in their right mind who would receive a grille in that condition, and did not send it back and ask for a new one is either very rich or just does not care!

Yes, very rich and frankly I DON'T GIVE A DAMN....
Figure I'll use the screen for something I fabricate...


Why has no one else complained about this grille? Only you!

????? Firstly, I'm probably the only forum member that has actually purchased one..have you ??? Second, the consensus on this thread alone isn't offering stellar reviews and comments.

Sorry, but that is why I have a hard time believing you.

And I, you, in believing your passion and unrequited love for a piece of screen !!!

People from Mercado If you read this, I am sorry I even started this post. Please understand that i believe in your product and I have been to many car shows and met many people who have installed your grilles on their cars and they have nothing but positive things to say about it.

A true "Mercado Groupie".......SO DO YOU OWN ONE ?????
PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS !!!


I like the look of you product and believe it will filter smaller pieces of road trash than the Race mesh grille.

One thing about the Mercado is that it will grate cheese much better then the Race Mesh...

I am very sorry.
Finally the truth passes your lips...I AGREE THAT YOU ARE VERY SORRY....
