your car is looking fantastic. Its going to look 100% better with a drop. Also if your looking to sell your stock grill let me know how much you looking to get for it. Good Luck on the rest.

Yes it's a EuroTeck Lip and it seemed pretty basic the first time I went under the car. When I actually started bolting it up while using the lift....we learned we hade to expand some of the pre-drilled holes and even make two new ones. Fits like a glove just took some extra effort.

Thanks for your opinion...buuuuuttt I LOVE IT and that's all that matters. I'm not really known for making bad decisions when it comes to style points (personally and to my automobiles)...and I'm stickin' with this one. Once I get those Black wheels on there...it will really set it off. Hopefully won't bug yer eyes though...with one more shade of black/or grey...or whatever you're talking about.

lets race


Thanks for everyone's input

I think the grill looks amazing and so does the lip
I wish I had an 05+ front bumper so I could get the CF Lip
It looks awesome.

Grill looks great in pic #3 but not #1, 2 and 4.

CF Lip is always a nice addition. Good choice

The lip looks good like always, but not the grille. I'd put your stock grille back, but it's your car, so it's up to you

Overall, it looks nice

Normally from what i've seen, dark/CF looks like crap on lighter colors, but you really managed to pull it off. Both look great =D

Where'd you get the grill from? Mind if I ask how much it was?
