Looks alright, probably better painted. I'd say get rid of the license plate bracket and add clear bumper lights.

Haha you read my mind. Clear signals, no plate bracket, and some custom projectors are all going to clean the front up.

Yeah i was thinking about that. Might just do that. Thanks for the compliments guys! I know its nothing major but to me being my first mod on the car i think it gives it a whole new look over the stock grille! I cant wait to get more stuff for it!

Looks ok. Seems like there is a decent gap on the under side of the grille insert.

Side note: any plans to have the noticeable dent removed on the driver's side of your hood?

Just a quick question, is it legal to get rid of the front lincense plate? I'm unsure about this, I would like to get rid of my lincense plate bracket on the front of my max.

It's required to be on both front and rear in Texas but it's not strictly enforced. I took mine off a few weeks ago. I'll take my chances.

I like the mod and will probably take off my Grille Tech that I just put on and do the gutter gaurd mod painted glossy black instead. Does eanybody have the gutter guard on both lower openings as well on a 4th Gen.? Pics?

I went to the car wash but there is still a dirt shadow I can't seem to get off.
