Give it to me straight.

Well guys I took the grille off to make a few adjustments and give it a lil touch up. So I decided to play around with a few emblems that came with the suspension. Tell me what you think of the three setups.


Do we go with the original Option #1


Option #2


or with Option #3

I was gonna remove the center part behind the mesh but decided against it for two reasons. #1 The grille would not bolt in corectlly because there are two bolts on that section that hold the grille on. #2 I would not be able to return the grille to stock in the future if I decide to.

Ok guys someone jacked my Type-s emblem yesterday so I guess I will be emblemless unless I decide to rock the Tein T in the corner where the Type-s was. Its funny i live in Boston and nobody has ever touched my ride they know better I go in a store at the kittery outlets in Maine and some dick jakcs me. I wish I would have caught them. I would have shown them a thing or two about respect....... But here is how it looks now

Damn, sucks about the type-s emblem .. But I love the way your car turned out, your look is actually the exact same I was looking at, but I was stuck between Se7ens and Inspyres.

What did you use to stick the emblem on there though? I used some type of superglue, can't remember .. but I tried to pry it off and it wouldn't come off no matter how much you tried.

I like it either way, but I would have def. liked to have seen that assclown get "accidentally" clubbed in the head as his finger touched your car.


what did you use to paint the grill by the way?

The emblem I picked up brand new mystik, So all I had to do was apply it.

Blitz, I painted the grille with Midnight Metallic paint by Rustoleum. It has a nice shine with metal flakes in it. I also hit it with a few coats of clearcoat on top.

My opinion woul be none. ur grille looks clean without the tein emblems. The only way I would put them on my car is if I was getting sponsored by them.

Hey Red, a lil' out of context I know, sorry, but are your rears tucking in under the fender? And are you runnin a bit of negative camber it looks like?

No offense, but you need a better camera bro. Your car looks too good for this fuzziness :P

I have only had a front plate on one car I have ever owned, And that wa because it was a S.U.V. they never bother me ever. Only one time I was parked in the firelane in Saugus at the mall with my girl waiting in the car they asked her why there was no front plate and she said it was in a accident and the bodyshop never put it back the cop said well get it fixed and that was it.

That's good COPS don't bother you like that I got pulled over last summer @ storrow drive by state police there was no reason why he pulled me over but he walked all over my car and he didn't see my front plate he gave me a ticket for $100 and $25 for not havin' my seat-belts on I fought it and I got away with it.
