    I should have gone 2" instead of 1.5".

    Looks much better. Paint the grille black or gunmetal. Or faux brushed aluminum. There's a how-to on Vortex somewhere.

    It's amazing what a little bit of a drop will do to a car.



    Oh and PLEASE don't colormatch the grille...


    Paint it matte/satin black like the new EVO front. Shit would look hella mean.
