Customized Grill, Opinions?
So I bought the motostorm s5 grill and decided I didn't like all that chrome, but I didn't want to throw the $$ away. I decided to go for something a little different from other maxs. I like it more from far away but I am decently happy with how it turned out and I am looking for criticism from you guys. Tell me what you think...

Keep in mind i was going for different.

Painted. White edges, black center. Wanted it to look cut i guess, so that the emblem floated.
The AE mod is definitely on my list of things to do next

i think the paint matches pretty well. how can you get it perfect without blending for fade? although, how much does a white max fade...

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

you mean like every other maxima on the road, i think you missed the originality point. I am thinking of cutting down on how far the white goes in though, would get rid of the piano. Would have to cancel the order for my custom license plate of "88 KEYS".
j/k
