Looks good!! I see you are in Metuchen. How much does the front license plate cover? I live in Laurence Harbor (gsp 120).

I did the top and bottom grilles. Here's a pic showing the license plate holder.

License plate cover? I haven't had a front license plate on any of my personal vehicles for 25 years

P.I.T.S.,
I was gonna get the main grille as well......just didn't like to see everything behind it. Maybe paint everything flat black? I'll wait until you perfect the look

Andy,

The reason you can see a lot of what is behind the grill is due to the camera flash. In normal light you can barely see anything. I also have since painted the "plumbing" all flat black and added a much tighter mesh flat black bug screen to the back of the main grill with black nylon ty-raps. Looks much better now since that pic was taken. It does pick up more bugs but I would rather pick them out of the grille than the radiator.

New pics soon.

Keep a license plate holder on my truck for a Viet Nam vet plate. We were hated when we came home. I am proud of my service and show my service to all now. It is about time the vets that served in Viet Nam are finally recognized, as well as all that served. But I ramble....

I think I will wait till the billets come out. Not overly pleased with the grill myself. I like the blue oval, but a car dealer sign .... ug. Next it will rotate and light up.... Anyone know if an earlier grill will fit????
