Before you do that, please take that hideous body kit off your car. You're not in TF&TF!

I like the kit... not the wing, but the kit is nice and gives it some more curves that the car could use.

Yea man the kit looks nice...do what makes you happy and on the grille...i dont really like the trucky look that a stull grille gives a car...ive got a painted WW grille with camaro emblems on it and i love it...but if your set on the stull grille i guess i would check out the brushed. Good Luck

Are you guys mentally stable? His car looks like a freakin ricer with that body cladding. C'mon guys, don't lie to the guy, that kit is an eyesore.

It seems to only be you who thinks so

But really, ricers try to look like they have something under the hood and so they put tons of jaggy urethane on... We on the other hand HAVE something under the hood, so I think it's a lot less ricey for us to add some simple curves to the car (which is all the Xenon kit does, it's not like he has 12" inductors behind his doors). I dunno, maybe it is "ricey". Personally, I'm strongly anti-rice and I still think it makes the car look more stylish.

Ricer is one of the most overused term on this board...that bodykit on his car is not rice...its what he likes and personally I dont think it looks that bad. Ricer is more of a mental state.

I agree 100%... the polished looks better on lighter cars. I think that I am going to buy the black one for my NBM
