Default Just washed the ride...and added a grill

Decided to add a steel billet grill to the ride. I wasnt sure if it was going to look good, but i actually think it makes the car stand out even more. Tell me what you guys think of the grill. Should it stay or should it go?

Keep the grill ditch, the "SLP EDITION" stickers. Your car isn't any special edition dude.

I usually don't like the billet grill but it flows well with the badges and the lip on the wheels. I myslef think the SLP grill is the way to go.

It looks a hell of a lot better than stock though. or if he didn't have a grill there to begin with. I personally think the billet grills are very classy, and look very nice on these cars.

Yup, and put the SS emblems back where they belong. They are way to high.
