Man. Looks just like my car. I'm almost tempted to put my chrome grill back on the front. I like that look how it goes well with the lights. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Haha.. by the way your car WAS the inspiration. i even left you a comment in your gallery like a month ago.

And I was debating on either i need to put the black grill on or not. i kinda like both. Will keep it this way for now

How about something in the middle like what I did. I painted the kidney surrounds body color but kept the slats chrome:

that looks perfect. i recently switched back to a chrome grill with slants over the black grill. I like the chrome better as well.

How did the sides fit? I've been reading that they're a little bit short

I read this before too. Actually they fit great. I will post pic later. They may be short, but only like 0.5 cm which is not noticeable. Looks like it supposed to be this way.

This looks very nice. I may consider this in the future. Did you paint it yourself or had someone do this for you?
SonicMS did the paint.

SonicMS is a great shop. I am sure the quality is superb. That's a good idea to paint just surrounding to make it look meaner and still have a chrome accent
