What do you think?
Sport Grill



CL Grill



Oh ya, it's carbon fiber too


Just a couple things before you start to get picky with the pictures. Yes it is just setting there, it's not fastened yet, so it is sticking out just a bit. And yes, it's dirty. I'm in north Texas where we just had a record 9 inches of snow last night.

On a side note. Most likely, I will be painting the chrome side slats (not the star) body color like my sport grill or black.

CL + color match the slats (or all the chrome because you seem to be on a no chrome mission)

I would paint the star too, but it is smooth like the distronic.
