I want that grille, but I don't want to pay 270 bucks for it. I might just go with the black powder coated billet grille for 130.

Ever have folks stop you and ask you what your plates mean? How funny is it when you tell them it doesn't mean anything. It is 4 random letters I chose about 10 years ago as a screen name. I had a guy get mad at me cause he said he's been trying to figure it out for weeks (I worked with him).

Well at least your plate is the same as your user name. That's cool.



Oh, BTW I noticed you have black mirrors. I actually have the body color matching mirrors but your car looks awesome either way.

If you don't wanna shell out the money for the SLP grill just take the plastic one out and leave it that way. Looks alot better than that factory one.
