It looks like any smallish rock is going right through to destroy your radiator. Aesthetically, I don't hate it.

I think maybe with the facelifted headlights it might look more in place. I don't totally hate it but something seems odd.

I would also agree, I would like to see it too! It might actually look very nice.

I think it would look decent with the facelifted front end not just the head lights. As is right now, definitely out of place, reminds me of a Jeep.
