oh that's right, my buddy works at a car audio shop and they've got a demo car which is a spyder, convertible, should have remembered that.

so the mitsu in the pic is crashed?

so it's silver... I'd consider painting it black but it looks fine as it is though

ah I see... well same thing happened to me with my max. crashed it, waited some months to get it back, all reparied and partially painted and it looked soooo good... then what happens? while parked at work some ****in truck backs into it and scratches the whole bumper so the paint goes away in a stripe that's like 15cm thick. then he leaves the place without telling me or signing any insurance papers. ***** f**k...

how did you fit the mesh in the grill? and did you have to cut anything on the grill before you put it in?

does anyone have pics of/has anyone ever made a grill, usin like a billet grille (inside the outside plastic of our grilles)

(or will someone photoshop one before i do)

i was thinkin it might look clean with the chrome strips through the grille, almost a thicker version of the 3rd.5 gen gxe grilles
