Default Front End Ideas....

I'm going for some variation of this (with the holes smoothed and repainted):







There will be a paint matched 2" cowl hood in the near future too.

I chose the 2nd generation badge because I own one and I think that design wise, it more closely resembles the 4th generation.

That's just a few chops, the real thing should look better. In case you didn't know, these emblems don't really bend so i cannot put it in the middle.

What do you think?

My dad agrees, though it will be harder to stick there.

+1 for the third pic. I think it looks great mounted on the grill.

Not sure yet. Thing is, it's just a tad different and I kind of like it, but like the stock black also. BUT if I paint it black again, the grills won't stand out as much. Though black is easier and cheaper to do (it's just trim black - rattle can).

Kinda of reminds me of an early 2nd gen Rally Sport except it is a split grill instead of split bumper. And placement of the emblem in the third pic looks best.

I say you fill the holes and get that badge in sticker form so you can put it in the center. It looks goofy off to the side IMO.
