I don't know how the WALD grill would look on my car though, i mean, doesn't the line in the middle of the grill look kinda weird?

the mugen kit does look fairly serious/peformance styled but the way your car is at the moment you dont have to go full pimp or full performance look - sounds like you'd prefer something in between. Make your car look how you want it to! don't conform to a particular style

I kinda do want to give people the feel like, DAMN, that car is pimp....but at the same time, screams perfromance

even if you have this grill for the mean time while you try and source something a bit more unique - i'm sure you could find one fairly cheap.
I just don't think many grill's will suit the mugen kit that well besides the actual mugen grill or something oem. The pond grill and backup grill just don't seem like they'd mesh to me

A lot of people can see massive rims and think a car is fast because "shit look how big its rims are! must be serious about performance" haha when in reality lightweight and wide 17" would be better for actual performance.
yep im a huge fan of Advan, ssr and works wheels - go for them over volks - especially if they got a style you like. I love the SSr rype C's, work emotion cai and advan TCII and RGII all so damn nice

I think you should get a set of SSR GT3.

I might get the Mugen grill to try it on and see, but, send me a PM when you are selling your grille man!

BUt you can't really blame them, because look at all the high performance cars, they are equipped with big rims, M3= 18", M6= 19" , Ferraris = 19" i think...
I like the Works cai, kinda looks like euro R, that's wht i wanted Volks GT-V, but ya, VOlks is too common. I am getting into Advan and SSR and Works now. I am kinda into the Mesh style all along, but the mesh doesn't look good with our car, and not many people like it. But now, SCREW OTHER PEOPLE< i might get mesh style because i just love it!! I know both Advan, SSR, and work has them. Advan has 38+ offset, so might not fit, i duno about SSR, but Work ones will fit!

I might be selling my grill within a month or two so i'll keep you posted.

i'm pretty sure you can get SSR's to fit the euro and some advans should too, just a matter of finding the correct width and offset i guess. I've become a big fan of the SSR rims lately, especially their forged wheels.

Advan, i've searched, the mesh style doesn't fit at all, well, it's maxed out so if i lower more, it will rub! I kinda like the SSR, there was a set for sale that was cheap, and was kinda what i wanted before, 6 spoke with a lip, but i don't know, i still want new wheels...... SSR is pretty nice too, i used to be just about Volks, now i am expanding~

but i think it's a good idea to avoid volks if you want to be unique, they are quite common. Some BBS mesh styled rims might look nice? I remember seeing a mugen TSX (the front bumper replacement kit) with some mesh style rims and it looked impressive.
Benz, if you take some photos of your car from a photoshop friendly 3/4 angle or perhaps even more side on i'd be able to up some quick photoshops of different style wheels on your car. - i'm gonna be in LA, Las vegas then vancouver for the next 3 weeks starting tommorrow tho... so maybe sometime after that
