1. It would be helpful to post up pics of the grills so people didnt have to look them up.


2. Looks like you definately need wider tires out back.



I think the slp one would look better though.

I agree wider tires in the back and then get a chrome billet grille with a bow tie in the center.

Before I read any of the replies the FIRST thing that struck me was those tiny tires you have on the rear. Better get that fixed first.

I remember seeing a grill that looks simular to the rksport one but I think it comes to more of a point on the end.

Anybody know what im talking about?
