pics of my new front end

my car is sitting in the garage (hiding from the snow). i snapped off a few pics of the new bumper, hood and painted grill. they're not the greatest, but i wanted to get a few pictures on here for everyone to look at.

Otherwise great... I NEED That hood.

speaking of that, how do you change the grill. I know you can buy replacements that have the mesh in it but those are like 200 bucks and I d rather not spend that much.

Where can I buy good mesh and how would I install?

thanks for the comments guys. the carbon fiber hood and front bumper are the items both available through redlinemax.com they were good to work with and i'll definitely be a repeat customer. the grill was purchased through another .org member. i figured the painted grill would look better and imo it did.

Very nice! Not too fond of the holy bumper, but the mesh helps out a lot!

not a fan of the skyline kit. But it looks hot with that carbon fiber hood. Are you gonna put hood pins on that?

WTF?? what does YOUR question have to do about this guys thread? if you have a question, then make your own thread about it... don't go ***** up someone else's... d@nm newbies... I mean come on now! use some common sense... *sigh*

Btw, looks good, but i am normally not a fan of that bumper... but it does look good on your car for some reason..

thanks for all the input guys. i'll definitely be posting pics when i get the side skirts and rears on (and the turbo, 5spd, etc etc....). just outta curiousity, would you guys recommend getting the skyline sides and/or rear or the ionic dynamics kit? i'm kinda torn between the two. the ionic dynamics kit will keep it looking somewhat clean, but i'm wondering if the front bumper will look more complimented by the rest of its same kit.

I think the ionic sides are goofy, IMO side skirts look better when they are flush along the bottom... I guess they look like BMW side skirts but I dont like those....
