Alright guys, what do you think...?

I really like this new grille, I know most of you don't. I still want to get everyone's opinion. Remember I like the stock look. I took the plunge and got it, so I wanted to be the first to show everyone what it looks like installed. So what do you guys think?

Looks like a french car. The Renault. Renault Mehane to be precise. If anyone knows it.

Don't look too good to me. But hey, if you like it, that is all that matters. Keep on moding.....

So far I have added the 18" factory rims (came with 17"), added the 07-08 spoiler, added 6000k heads and 6000k fogs, and now the new grille.

I am putting in the led door handles and fujita next. Then maybe lowering it a bit. Then the Peripheral iSimple Ipod/HD Radio combo input. Eventully the IPCW LED tails, but right now it is just way too much money to spend on tailights, hopefully they will go down a bit. That might be it. I don't race, just want to spice her up a bit. Any other suggestions?

For those of you who don't like this grille, do you like stock better?

Definately different, but hey to each their own. I say paint the grille black and black out your headlights and I think it would look better.

They sell the same grille with black accents, but I think I am going to keep the Chrome/Alloy theme.

Wouldn't want to return it if I could. I do like the stock grille as well, so if you don't like the stock grille, I know you won't like this. I just wanted something that looks stock, but isn't.

Your gille is nice, but just not the look I am going for.

Door handle leds---- yes. I'd like to see them anyway. I like the fact you have a theme and aren't adding every mod you can get your hands on.

The grille, not bad at all. I like the stock grille too but eventually they get beat up. This one looks similar but someone might think it was a different trim level or something. I'd tint the windows a little and save up for your tail lights.

Are those the 18in wheels in the pic?

Not the best looking grill I've seen, but something is to be said for being unique.

that car above needs a drop real bad. for me the stock grill plus the one you have has too much going on in the front. try the E&G grill. yeah it cost some money but you wont be like every other Ebay car around. just my 2 cents
