Looks great. Love the fogs and the grill isn't as bad as I thought lol. I was thinking about getting it, but decided not to because the burger is still on there. But now I'm rethinking it.

Toxik,

Glad ya took my advise and got the grille, it looks good!

You need to paint that stache now though. I think it stands out even more now that you got the black billet grille.

I think I may go the eyelids route as well. Did you get the same ones as Brian? How much did they run you?

looks good

personally i think that the grille would look better if you couldnt see the stock honeycomb grille through it.

is there a way to remove the old grille and just have the new one?

AHAHAHAH arthur hasnt installed one damn thing on his own! If you didnt show up to that bk meet with your dinged door that day... you would still be stock.

I remember it like it was yesterday..(arthur pulls up 4 cars away from all the AC's)

I say "hey look theres another one" to surman

Arthur walks away from the group like he wasnt there for the meet, and didnt feel like talking to us lol... Now your sleepin on Surman's garage floor!

lol guess what surman was doing?

Denting and scratching my door with his dirt bike! LOL! But I won't post pics of that :p

Hehe, but yeah I'll give credit where its due... surman did most of the work on my car. Although hes secretly addicted to doing it, I was putting on the grille and he jus kicked me off cuz he wanted to do it instead lol.

Oh and don't blame me for anything Brian, you're the reason me and mike put so much damn money into our cars, both of us blame you lol

The grill looks really nice on a black car. I wonder how it would work for Precision Grey. It might not have the same effect, but from the pictures, it feels like the Grill isn't there, almost 350z. A faux grill cause it matches your car.

I wonder if I can get it painted to Precision Grey, it would be tough though with the crevices!

Looking real sharp. I havn't seen eyelids on a black coupe yet, looks really good, and very straight unlike some i've seen that don't really line up properly. that grill looks nice too, i might pull a copycat

Looking at your pics though, it looks like you have a rather big gap between your hood and bumper, is that something you can adjust? the gap on my car is just as big and i can't adjust it down, i can adjust the right side lower, but the left side is as low as it will go. it almost looks like my hood is popped all the time becaues the gap is so big.

Anyone know if we can do the eyelids thing in canada? becuase we have to have DRL's and the eyelids cover those up, would we have to make some sort of alternate setup to make different drl's, like maybe using the foglights or an led strip instead? or is it no big deal and just cover em up?

me and surman are installing the oznium audi-style DRLs on my car this weekend. Maybe that can also be the solution to your problem, not sure cause we don't need DRLs here in the US. I'll prolly post pics in this thread once we're done.
