Mugen Grille installed!

Just some quick shots of the new grill. Still waiting on the JDM hood trim to come in, but I still think the grill currently looks great. My front end is sooo much cleaner now

Looks great

Looks like the new fog light tint is holding up better.

Thx man. Yeah, I just use my fog's way less now(before I used them every time my lights were on) to prevent them from burning up again. When are you comming down again?

Yeah, I had to cut the little tabs off the OEM one and then cut the ends(hard to explain) so everything fit. In the instructions that come with it, they give you a little pattern to use so you can cut the ends the right length and such.

As for the hood trim. I would just order it and not bother getting the oem one painted.

Dynamically changes the front end. I like it, especially on white.

painting the chrome trim will take lotta of work. jdm trim will be much cheaper (around $50).

Gaps like around the edges of the grille? Everything fit decently. I had to modify and cut the OEM radiator cover(temporary until my JDM one comes in).
