Heck no! These things are like Vettes...they all start looking the same. Your GFX make the car look not only different, but major league aggressive!
I'd get some polish/scratch covering compound and go over it occasionally. BTW, probably, most people can't/won't see it.
If u decide to get rid of it, e-mail me plz

It looks awesome - keep it.
There's got to be some kind of coating or film(like that stuff that goes over headlights) that you can put on the bottom to make it tougher.
I definetly agree with that standing out comment

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!

The major problems I have with this kit are that it is not one-piece in the front so I will be getting it molded.

And about it getting messed up too much, I'm jsut going to get a beater or a bike as planned and drive those on a regular basis.

I was very close to going outside and taking it off last night but once I read these replies I decided against it. It's a love/hate relationship with me and my car.

I'm actually thinking about doing that.

Sometimes I hate the car, but then when i drive it I'm speechless. The only times I'm happy is when it's freshly waxed and when I am driving it.

Oh and it's a Xenon body kit. PM me for details.

I think you emailed me about it, but if not, it is a Billet grill that I attached a bowtie to it. I bought the bowtie off of eBay.
