Did some maintenance the other day, oil, brakes fluid, microfilter and decided to try a pair of ebay matte black grills. The tabbed portion of the grill was really weak and didn't fit right, tabs started snapping right away. Since they are 2 piece i swapped faces so I could use my oem tabbed part, had to dremel a tiny bit to make the 2 parts fit but it turned out pretty good in the end.

I'm on the fence still about the mod, makes the nose look larger but i'll give it some time and see if it grows on me.

Keep them until you're bored and switch back to stock. that's what I always do, I keep the unused ones in my trunk.

I think it looks great, bro. I just ordered a set from Nerweezy. A simple change, but makes a big difference. Looks good!
