Can't see pic very well. I assume you got a mock Mugen grille? BTW you should cover your lisence plate in pics to be safe.

lol why? Do you cover your plates when you drive down the road so people can't see them?

you've been missing out on this https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...373255&page=86

and this is the one on ebay, and i'll be honest when i bought it i figured it would come looking like shit, not fit, and be cheap and flimsy..
although i can't make any guarantees on the quality it fits perfectly and looks just as good as the real thing, worth it if you ask me, it really changes the look of the car in a good way

i think the deal with covering your plates is if you got a nondescript generic car with like an insanely built motor and you dont want people lifting it. then you hide it so people dont know where to boost.

but i mean for stuff like this, shitvic drivers cant even figure out what car it is, much less have a use for the grill

and it looks good matt

True, but like I said, someone can also see your plate when you are driving around, and they are actually near where you live. You are more likely to get something stolen from someone reading your plate around town, rather than on a worldwide forum...either way its HIGHLY unlikely.

cost $20 to get it painted since my friends dad owns a shop.
and yeah, i'm not to worried about anything happening, probably not worth the effort of 99% of the people who see these pics to steal my car or do any of that stuff just cuz of my plate.

I tried searching on EBAY, and didn't find it! Where did you get yours from? I saw one there before, but not there anymore.

x2, that grille makes the front look a lot more agressive and less like a family car. You know, the right sized Mugen emblem fits perfectly in that little area that looks like a place for a small emblem in the middle.

thanks, it definitely makes a much meaner front end. and I was going to do the mugen emblem, but i wanted to try something different

At this point i think people just like fucking around with me. I've been told to change at least 4 times, I had NBP and then i've been told to change it several times... is it NBP?

I love it.

Really makes the front look nasty as 02type-s said. Blackouts next.

not my dad, a friends.
and Although he does a pretty good job I don't know if I would send friends to him because he is always swamped with work, and I don't know if he would give you as sweet of a deal, but I can always ask if you want me to

I'm really glad I got it, with CAI and headers you can really feel the boost with better flowing exhaust
