carbonfiber grill on abp

I just installed it with zipties, and im going tighten it up. I had to drill the holes unlike a mugen grill. Its still pretty strong but I feel there has to be some better way to hold it on.

Im trying to find maybe a carbonfiber trim or tape to even it out.

It looks good; but I think you need to darken out the chrome strip on the hood. Either blue 1st or carbon fiber 2nd. It would look good to darken the lower mesh the same color as the grille.

You might want to replace the radiator top cover with the JDM version for a better fit on top of the grille.

IMO i think you should match the trim to the hood but it might look good with the cf

I preferred it with the chrome trim on the bonnet.
Still, to each their own.
BTW, you never did tell us where you got this from? Nor how much.
