NICE!

i'm always ready for a photoshoot.
even if i can't get a car wash.

btw
i did my mesh grilles myself.
low gloss/semi flat black
gives it a beautiful contrast between NBP

what do you guys mean by the "slant"? when it's on an angle, it looks like it's fallin to one side?

If your talking about the slant on the underbody of the kit, thats for ground clearance. After all, the TL has a pretty good amount of overhang, and the RJ front bumper is already 1.5" lower than the A-Spec front lip. I think it looks clean, and would look even cleaner with the rest of the kit, if not just the sides from RonJon.

the grill & front bumper look better than the rest of the car.
the paint quality is excellent on the bumper
and even the grilles, which were a DIY job.

^gangster 2nd Gen!

for the lower grille
Rusto auto primer (dark grey)
semi flat/low gloss duplicolor
a few layers of clear coat

upper grille
center bar - previosly sanded & scratched up before
primer- so it sticks.
didn't make much difference with the scratches because the paint held
with rock chips.
so i didn't scrape it all up this time-
just a can of black Duplicolor primer
sanded down, then polished
a can of duplicolor nbp
polished again
2 more coats of NBP
then clear coat
