MAXRB8 gets a face lift ( pics inside)

Hey guys, just thought I'd share a few pics with my new Trenz grill, well new to me, thanks Broaner, part of your Max lives on, more pics on my webpage, I've experimented with different front end looks but this is definitely the one for me.

They're Toyo Proxes 4.

I like the stock grille better, but I'm biased as my car is the same year and color and MaxRB8 is in our local chapter and we won't be able to live with him, between the new grille and Gen II altezzas, lol!

My eyes can't help but pick out that vertical bar. Maybe stick a black chrome hamburger logo in front of the bar. Maxrb8 is running on Illuminas and Eibachs.

looks good... I was going to go with a trenz grill, but the bar was just wrong. Ended up getting the motostorm grill looks about the same, with no cross bar.

Love it man. I have the trenz, but it's for the 97+ so it's a bit bigger. I agree with the bar in the middle, but it's just something you live with, or maybe dremel off? I'm not about to ruin my grille though.
