Looks more aggressive. I agree with ATLP boy, an open grill would make it that much meaner.

Some are going to say no but I think it looks pretty good depending on color of the car and headlight color.

Ya lets talk about getting a big H since thats what this thread is all about

I think once you do the color match surrounds on the grill I think the eye lids will flow better

I'm so so...I think it would look good if the gap between the hood and eyelid wasn't so noticeable.

Not a popular thing to have...so it stands out.

I would keep them until you do the grille then evaluate the situation.

looks great with Mugen grill IMO... but i may be biased.. lol

FYI MUGEN GRILL FOR SALE ON EBAY

I wasnt sure that it was real because it has been modded to not have the badge in the middle and since there is no Mugen stamp on mugen grills It's hard to tell

but i think it is real for two reasons

it has the serial number in it like mine
and its from japan lol
