Damn, there's so much meat on those tires I could put some steak sauce on there, lol.

Looking real nice! Sweet drop.

Very clean and slick. I even like the look of the thick meaty tires on your car. Very VERY clean.

took out the right hand side one so cold air could more easily travel to the gruppeM's chamber. Removed the left hand side to maintain symmetry. I prefer the look with foglight covers removed. Adds a bit of interest/depth to the front - stock foglight covers are pretty ugly IMO - in the meen time thinking of what i can get custom fabricated to fill the gaps if anything at all.

I actually like the look without the fog light covers in there

Upclose it doesnt look all that great, but who actually does that? I think it looks way meaner head on

Perhaps you can fill those gaps with a dark mesh........

thanks - it's no mugenized JDM master, but I'm happy with how it's comming along

I've thought about this... Was also thinking of finding some plastic honeycomb material that matches the euroR grill and putting mesh behind that and then putting it on. I don't really like the plain mesh look - needs something infront of it to stop it from looking like a flyscreen
